There was a time in Amtrak's history when the Wyoming route was the regular route of the California Zephyr (actually, back then it was called the San Francisco Zephyr)...and an all-too-brief time when that was the regular route of, I believe, the Pioneer.
And the Feather River Canyon route was the
original route of the California Zephyr, pre-Amtrak -- I hope that got mentioned aboard the train when you were on that detour.

Hey, that's off-topic for this thread!
My list:
Silver Meteor (NYP-TPA)
California Zephyr (DEN-Oakland/Emeryville)
City of New Orleans
Pacific Surfliner (LAX-SAN)
Coast Starlight (LAX-PDX)
Empire Builder (PDX-CHI, detour La Crosse-CHI due to freight derailment)
Southwest Chief
Wolverine (CHI-Ann Arbor)
Northeast Corridor (Bridgeport-PHL)
You'd think someone who goes by "trainman" might have a longer list, but no.
