Starting in mid-January 2026, a new company called Halloway is offering a more luxurious rail experience. It is launching exclusive-use private railcar journeys on two of the most scenic routes in the American West.

Rather than operating its own luxury train, Halloway will attach a pair of restored historic railcars to regularly scheduled Amtrak trains, creating what the company describes as a fully private onboard experience: sleeping, dining, and lounging reserved entirely for one group. The initial itineraries will operate on Amtrak’s Coast Starlight route, connecting Los Angeles and Oakland (across the bay from San Francisco), and on the California Zephyr line, which links Oakland with Denver in Colorado.

Your booking grants you exclusive use of both the Evelyn Henry (sleeping car) and the Warren R. Henry (vista dome lounge car) for your entire party—plus breakfast, lunch, and dinner crafted fresh by your onboard chef. This is not just travel. It’s a rolling, all-inclusive California escape—private, pampered, and unforgettable.
