For the first time in 40 years, #Amtrak has started to replace its #overnight #trains.
Ten manufacturers have submitted their ideas on replacement #railcars for world-famous routes such as the #AutoTrain, #CaliforniaZephyr, #CoastStarlight, #Crescent, #EmpireBuilder and #SouthwestChief.

Final #photos taken on my #CaliforniaZephyr trip in November- arriving at my CZ destination of #galesburg #illinois.
From here I'll transfer to the #SouthwestChief for Kansas City. It's just a short layover - and they even managed to transfer all my luggage over correctly. A California Zephyr miracle!

The Coast Starlight is, to my reckoning at least, one of the Big Five Amtrak routes for long distance travel, along with the #SouthwestChief (Chicago -- Albuquerque -- LA), #CaliforniaZephyr (Chicago -- Denver -- Oakland), #EmpireBuilder (Chicago -- Spokane -- Portland | Seattle), and #SunsetLimited (New Orleans -- Houston -- Los Angeles). The Starlight also covers some of the same ground as the #PacificSurfliner (San Diego -- LA -- San Luis Obispo), the #CapitolCorridor (Auburn -- Sacramento -- Oakland -- San Jose) and the Amtrak Cascades (Vancouver Canada -- Seattle -- Portland -- Eugene).
