indeed the "zephyr" route is beautiful eastbound.donner pass and the sierras are the first highlight, then the next day the rockies. the "empire" and "chief" also have beautiful scenery but are best seen westbound on #3 & #7.breakfast is best, followed by dinner. not that pricey. strip steak is great. stick to the basics and take along fruit and a couple of sandwiches. amtrak used to have an "all across america" fare that for one price you get unlimited travel across all three amtrak regions with three stops built in. you can also book the same fare wihin two regions. once onboard in sleeper or coach you are free to move about the train. in fact once onboard in coach you may purchase a sleeper from the conductor as availibility permits. it is worth the scenery but can be tiring after two weeks.
