In 2016 I road the Amtrak Coastal Starlight from Seattle to San Francisco.

Here it is passing Shasta.

Nice aerial view along the coast.
My review of this train is 6/10 as a regular ticket purchaser. The food was shitty and there's a lot of undesirable people who get on in Southern Oregon and Northern California. You arriev on the East side of the Bay and have to take a bus into SF.
There are better trains, but some of the views were nice.
