City of Los Angeles

Union Pacific entered the 1960s with a fleet of equipment second to none, and was actually among the last railroads to order new cars, receiving its last seven sleepers in the summer of 1965. At a time when TV westerns like Bonanza, Death Valley Days and High Chaparral were must-watch shows each week, UP advertising hailed the delights of travel to and from the west aboard its magnificent “Domeliners” (a nickname coined in the 1950s when dome cars first arrived). From the fall of 1960 onward, the City of Los Angeles (#103/104), Challenger (#107/108) and City of San Francisco (#101/102) were combined during off-peak periods. During the summer and holidays, the train ran in two sections, with Pullman sleepers on the first, and coaches on the second. Further consolidations by the late 1960s would see the train swell to 27 cars on occasion, with up to five E8 and E9 diesels for power!
