Between last year and this year, I managed to take the whole Coast Starlight. Last year, I continued from Seattle down to Emeryville. This year, I went from Emeryville to Los Angeles.
Of the four western rail routes I took, the Coast Starlight was third on the list. There were some cool parts but nothing nearly as breathtaking as the Empire Builder or California Zephyr. I kind of wish they would have set it up so that you would pass Mt. Shasta in the daylight. But oh well, it wasn't too bad.
Next week...the Southwest Chief.
Only if it's not too much trouble.. you should post a trip diary, of what it was like on the Empire Builder!!
