We take an almost 5,200 rail adventure on board 3 historic luxury private rail cars! This is a onceinalifetime opportunity that I am beyond grateful to have experienced. A hardworking group of rail fans and volunteers prepared this spectacular journey as a part of the Pride Ride 2023.

Attached to the rear of Amtrak’s California Zephyr, we first travel from Chicago Illinois to San Francisco, California. After 2 nights and 1 day stopped in Oakland, we then are connected to the Coast Starlight for the trip from Oakland, California to Los Angeles. The next day, we complete the final leg of the trip attached to the back of the Southwest Chief.

Our main sleeping car, The Salisbury Beach, was built in 1954 for the Boston and Maine. This car contains 6 open sections, 4 bedrooms and 6 singleoccupancy roomettes.

Next in the consist is the former Pennsylvania Railroad’s Colonial Crafts. Built by Pullman Standard in 1949, this car operated on the Broadway Limited, and once carried Elvis Presley to Memphis Tennessee.

Last but not least is the observation car on the rear of our train, the Lamberts Point. This was the oldest car on the train, built in 1918 for the Norfolk and Western Railway. It contains a kitchen, a formal dining room, two lavish bedrooms original designed for railroad executives, as well as the rear observation lounge.
