Volume 3: Colfax to Davis
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 Colfax to Davis, California. Along the way you'll see the sights including Auburn, Roseville (home to Southern Pacific's huge diesel shops), McClellan Air Force Base, Sacramento and the Great Central Valley.
