This is Part 6 of an 8-part mega-train Odyssey, consisting of my eastbound 3-day trip on AMTRAK's "California Zephyr" from Emeryville, California to Chicago's Union Station in August 2022.
Because the weather was so fine, and the time of year provided a lot more spectacular scenery during daylight hours, I decided to take a LOT of video, and edit to preserve as much good content as possible. I also decided to edit so that each of the 8 parts (except the shorter Part 1 "Prologue") was about 1.5 hours duration, rather than make a smaller number of longer video segments.
I have a MUCH shorter YouTube video of the California Zephyr, taken on a westbound train in late December, and that is only about 1.5 hours long by itself, if you want a shorter viewing experience or want to see the route in the Winter with snow-covered mountain passes.
