Does anyone know what the service disruption both east and west bound California Zephyr experienced today? Was it weather related or mechanical or simply Union Pacific staging all the trains over the Sierra Nevadas. Westbound Zephyr was apparently arrived ahead of schedule and was held for five hours in Reno. The east bound Zephyr departed Emeryville 1 hour 40 minutes late and was held for some time in Roseville. Both trains are crossing the Sierras slowly now between Truckee and Colfax.
I board westbound CZ #5 in Chicago next Wednesday(1/25) bound for Emeryville for two night stay and then on to LAX on Sunday's CS @11. If several hours late, I may try the inland route through Bakersville and bus to Los Angeles Union Station. Last time I rode a late #11 and was 3AM finally getting to my hotel at LAX Airport.
