[QUOTE]Originally posted by RRRICH: [QB] Concerning the Zephyr route -- many years ago, the CZ did go into Cheyenne to the large station that someone else mentioned. At that time, the train operated in reverse from Denver through Greeley and northern Colorado into downtown Cheyenne, then reversed again for the remainder of the journey to Oakland. Due to logistics of the back-up move and very heavy freight congestion, the route eventually bypassed downtown Cheyenne and AMTRAK built an "Am-shack" at Borie, which indeed was the "station" serving Cheyenne via a bus connection. I believe that route change did knock off quite a bit of time from the CZ schedule. The original "Overland Route" did not go through Denver at all, but followed UP from Omaha west through Nebraska and into downtown Cheyenne, then continued west across Wyoming on the same route as AMTRAK's original CZ (and current reroute), then into Nevada and California.
