Volume 4: Davis to Oakland
Traveling on the California Zephyr passenger train was once marketed as "a vacation unto itself." It made its inaugural run from Chicago to northern California in 1949 and has remained one of the most treasured passenger trains in history. Here, you'll take a "head end" cab ride on an Amtrak F40PH diesel over its Southern Pacific Route from Davis to Oakland, California. Along the way you'll see the sights including the "Mothball Fleet" in Suisan Bay, Martinez, San Pablo Bay and the Carquinez Strait, the Richmond station interchange with the BART system, San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge, and San Francisco.
