Earlier this week, I got information that the entire California Zephyr route, including a stop in Omaha, would be running by the end of this week. According to an Amtrak official, train number 6 that leaves Emeryville, CA the morning of Thursday, September 15 will run the entire route. That train arrives in Salt Lake City and Denver on the 16th, in Omaha and Chicago on the 17th. The train 5 that leaves Chicago on Friday, September 16 will be the first train to run the entire route. That train arrives in Omaha the same day, in Denver and Salt Lake City on the 17th (if it is on time), and Emeryville on the 18th.
So all trains should be running the full route by Sunday, September 18. However, Amtrak is not guaranteeing that all stops will be served until Friday, September 30. Prices are very good right now, so it might be worth the risk.
