Notes:
- The California Zephyr will not exchange cars but will have across the platform connections at Ogden or Salt Lake City with more reasonable times (also assumes the Zephyr using the former SP route across the Great Salt Lake causeway in order to provide service to as much of the Wasatch Front as possible
- The Pioneer Zephyr will only operate as a separate train from Denver to Chicago
- The Starlight Zephyr will be a train in name only. Through cars will be operated on the Desert Zephyr and the Texas Pioneer
