<p>Can someone tell me why Emeryville and not Oakland is the end of the line for the California Zephyr? And is there local or regional rail available at Emeryville? </p><p> </p><p>The reason the Zephyr ends at Emeryville is that it is where Amtrak turns the train at. After they empty the train it gets run out to West Oakland to wash & service the train set. And then gets run over to Amtrak shop. </p><p> The Capitol equipment(Amtrak California) sets are all push pull sets & don't need to get turned. </p><p> Don't quote me on this as I'm doing this from memory. And there are better sources out there. Also its been many years since I paid close attention to the operation there.(and I don't live in CA anymore)</p><p>Rgds IGN</p>
