I am taking the California Zephyr this summer and would like to know the consist. I much enjoy the sleepers being at the front of the train, but had heard rumors of them being at the rear. I will be traveling from Chicago to Sacramento.

Would apprechiate the help.
Thanks!

Last time I went (November) the sleepers were on the rear (Emeryville-Chicago).

I took the CZ from Osceola to Reno last year and stayed in a hotel in Reno overlooking the tracks, so I saw the CZ every day. Without exception the sleepers were on the front westbound and the rear eastbound. There were only two sleepers on at that time (early May).

I think Mr Williams means that DURING HIS STAY the sequence was always the same, not the same sequence all year round!
