The Califonia Zephyr pulled into the Emeryville Station about 7:15 PM and after saying goodbye to the PV staff, I concluded my first ever Domes Over Donner trip.  The next day was a humbling experience boarding the southbound Amtrak Coast Starlight for my return home.  Thank you to Trains Unlimited, Tours, Calfiornia Zephyr Railcar Charters and TrainWeb.com.
