Amtrak Distances

For my Coast Starlight blog post, I needed the distance by train between Emeryville and Seattle and for some reason search engines cannot find anything useful (and LLMs just hallucinate).

It's not on Amtrak's website either. They used to have them as part of the timetables, but they're not on the newer ones.

I had to resort to finding what I was looking for in this unofficial archive of Amtrak timetables.

Anyway, I have transcribed the distances in the tables below (will add more when I have time).
