[QUOTE]Originally posted by royaltrain: [QB] My favourite train remains The Canadian when it was operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Today's Via version is still the best train in North America, but since this thread is really about U.S. trains pre-Amtrak, I would have to vote for UPs City of Los Angeles with its dome dining cars, and SP's Lark with its overnight Pullman service between Los Angeles and San Francisco. In the 1960's when I rode both trains in Pullman service, the UP 's meals were wonderful both upstairs in the dome, and downstairs in the main dining area. By the mid 60's SP's Lark was downgraded from the glory days of movie stars riding its Pullman drawing rooms, however, Southern Pacific still did a credible job (although much crticized by some) in running a train they clearly wanted to discontinue. The Pullman cars and Pullman service was still first-rate, and the dining facilites were only satisfactory, nowhere near the service found as late as the 1950's. But still a train worth riding.
