I did almost the same trip in 1984. Yes, it was Amtrak, but IIRC on the Southwest Chief I rode an El Cap coach. Side trip (on Amfleet) to San Diego. And of course the Coast Starlight went to Oakland. I'm not sure what station Amtrak was using in Oakland then, but it was before they moved to Jack London Square. The roughest ride of the whole trip was from Denver back to Chicago. 🙁 To tell the truth, I think I enjoyed more riding pre-HEP eastern trains in the late 70s.

i had the good fortune as a child to ride the El Capitan from Dearborn Station in Chicago to Pasadena, the Coast Daylight from LA to San Francisco and then the California Zephyr from the Oakland Mole to CUS. I remember waking up in the dome going through the car wash in Denver early in the morning. This was in the 1950's
