If I remember correctly, the train you're interested in is called
the "Coast Starlight" or something like that.  Anyway, it's run
by Amtrak, and you should call their toll-free number (which I
unfortunately don't have immediately at hand) to get more info.
Also, there are several good books about long-distance travel
by train in North America.  They include descriptions of things
to be seen along the way, as well as the mundane but necessary
details.  If a trip to the bookstore doesn't turn up anything,
send me e-mail and I'll dig around at home and get you the titles
and authors.
