Amtrak California Zephyr

Pros: The view was spectacular. I enjoyed the sightseeing. I also enjoyed the calm quiet surroundings on board. Cons: It would be helpful if the conductor announced when travelers whom have reached their destination. Being specific : example passengers whose final destination is Reno exit the train now . Just before the conductor puts the train back in motion a second announcement to make sure everybody who's destination is Reno to exit now. Tips: Be peace with whatever happens.
