Nostalgia & History > Through Pullman Question - St. LouisDate: 05/13/22 05:38 Through Pullman Question - St. Louis Author: train1275 Was there ever a through Pullman service between St. Louis and Kansas City for an ATSF connection west ?
Date: 05/13/22 08:39 Re: Through Pullman Question - St. Louis Author: NYC303 Yes, in 1939 for example, a sleeper operated St. L - LA on Santa Fe California Limited daily, with the portion east of KC alternating between the Alton/Q, the MP, and the Wabash. I think at another time the connection was on the MP daily.

From St. Louis it went WB on the Colorado Eagle and returned EB on the Sunflower.
