Breakfast out of Emeryville on #6?
Author: powhatanfan

Does anyone know what Amtrak is providing as breakfast for sleeper passengers on #6 out of Emeryville these days?

1. Breakfast service in the diner (with either full or limited menu).
2. "Brown Bag Breakfast" provided in sleeper room.
3. "You can buy a breakfast burrito in the lounge car when it opens" (aka Whole Lotta Nuthin').

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Last I heard, it was meal plan #3. With the later departure time, Amtrak decided now would be a good time to save money. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

#6 running eastbound from Emeryville never had breakfast served when it departed around 9:00 a.m. The Coast Starlight #11 running through Emeryville is often a different story. If I recall correctly the departure time for #6 still needs to be pushed up to around 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. to match its former schedule.

Yes, breakfast is still served out of Emeryville. The diner is open immediately when you board the train, and it closes after reaching Martinez. It is a limited menu breakfast. A few weeks ago, you had your choice of the french toast or the omelet. The other selections on the menu are not available until breakfast the next morning.

Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention one thing....breakfast is for sleeper passengers only---it is not open to coach. However, the lounge car is open and serving right away as well.

Will gladly stand corrected as noted above, as the CA Zephyr departed later than what it currently does the last time I took it eastbound and we didn't have a sit down meal in the dinner till lunch (after Sacramento).
