I'm assuming you've seen the Safiya Nygaard video taking the Zephyr? Tbh I'm thrilled that she's introducing the youths to the joys of overnight train trips
I had never heard of her till I got the video recommended to me a dozen times, but it’d pretty good, it speaks highly of transit and is both fun and informative

California Zephyr has the better name and is a longer ride, so it is clearly the best Amtrak Route
All I am saying is that if we electrified the California Zephyr, we could bring parts of it up to much higher speeds and make the undisputed best train in the US. Is it feasible? Not really, should we still do it? absolutely. It would be fun and actually really help the environment

best route from omaha to raleigh and can i bring my bike?
California Zephyr to Chicago, then transfer to the Capitol Limited then in DC transfer onto the Silver Star. You can bring you bike but it has to be put in storage in the Zephyr and the Silver Star

What's your favorite line of yours?
You can’t ask a parent to choose a favorite child, but it’s California Zephyr 100%

I don't see timetables on the amtrak web page, just hours when a station is open. Should I plan on getting to the station I'd leave from hours before the one I'd arrive at would close? (Would be a couple hours in a car)
The app usually will schedule to allow for a few hours of time to get a transfer. You can get time tables by looking up the name of the route then “timetable” in a search engine. Here are a few timetables to help though
San Jaoquins
California Zephyr
Capitol Limited
Cascades
