Hello everyone,
I've been doing a lot of research for my first overnight train ride and this website has been very helpful. I have to say, I'm already very excited about the trip! My wife, In-laws, and myself will be taking the CZ from San Francisco to Denver in September. Originally, we booked the EMY to CHI route but changed it later to DEN to give us a little more time for other sightseeing. I read in another thread that we might be approaching the Rockies close to darkness which is good to know, but hopefully the train won't be too late. Also, it looks like the detour won't affect us on our travel dates, once again great info here.
Anyway, on to my question. We will be staying at Fisherman's Wharf for 2 nights prior to our CZ adventure, and I'm trying to get the shuttle bus information. I'm already having nightmares about getting on the wrong bus at the wrong time and missing the train! What is the closest location from Fisherman's Wharf that I can get on the shuttle to EMY? Would the Amtrak Fisherman's Wharf stop work?
I'm also excited about taking the Roaring Camp steam train near Santa Cruz as a teaser before the main ride! I rode it several years ago and it was awesome, I'm very excited about going there again and I'm sure my In-laws will love it. Thanks in advance!
Steve
