Prototype Information:

The City of Los Angeles made its inaugural run on May 15, 1936. It was a streamlined train that connected Chicago, IL and Los Angeles, CA. Operated on the western leg by the UP and on the opposite end, by the C&NW until 1955, when the Milwaukee Road handled the chores.

The City of Los Angeles was the top of the line Union Pacific passenger train which successfully competed with the ATSF Super Chief and the RI/SP Golden State. Many of the train's cars bore the names of locales in and around the city of Los Angeles.

In the mid 50's the City of Los Angeles was featured in the popular I Love Lucy on 2 consecutive episodes. And Ronald Reagan often travelled on the train and did a full page print advertisement for the National Geographic magazine. In 1960, with passenger service in decline, the City of Los Angeles was combined with the City of San Francisco.
