City of Los Angeles (train) : ウィキペディア英語版 | City of Los Angeles (train)
The ''City of Los Angeles'' was a streamlined passenger train between Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California via Omaha, Nebraska, and Ogden, Utah. Between Omaha and Los Angeles it ran on the Union Pacific Railroad; east of Omaha it ran on the Chicago and North Western Railway until October 1955 and on the Milwaukee Road thereafter. The train had number 103 westbound and number 104 eastbound. This train was the top-of-the-line for UP, which marketed it as a competitor to the ''Super Chief'', a streamlined passenger train on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, and the ''Golden State'', a streamlined passenger train jointly operated by the Rock Island and Southern Pacific railroads. As with the ''City of Los Angeles'', many of the train's cars bore the names of locales in and around its namesake city. CNW / UP used one of two three-unit sets of EMC E2 locomotives as motive power beginning in 1937. The UP scored a public relations coup in the mid-1950s when the ''City of Los Angeles'' was featured in two episodes of the popular television series ''I Love Lucy''. In 1955 the Milwaukee Road assumed the service, replacing the Chicago and North Western between Chicago and Omaha. Actor Ronald Reagan often traveled on this train and even did a full page print ad for it that appeared in the National Geographic magazine. In a cost-cutting move, the ''City of Los Angeles'' was combined with the ''City of San Francisco'' in 1960. ==History==
