    This April, enjoy a ride in a dome coach, the old-fashioned way, in the Feather River Canyon, as the California Zephyr (the real one, not the Amtrak wannabe) hits the rails.
    Go here for more information, as well as info on other railroad tours here and abroad.

    Wow! I would love to make some of the trips on that site! To ride a dome car would be great. I have a friend who made the copper canyon trip, and it sounds fascinating.

    Just need to win the lottery and retire, so I have the money, and the time ;)

    Looks like it's not actually the CZ. Just some private cars attached to the regular Amtrak. If it were a complete CZ, I'd imagine that the railfans would be out in herds and droves! :eek:
