A word about the diners and lounge cars on the City of San Fransisco and the Overland during 1952-54: <br /> <br />All of these cars were individually owned by the sponsoring railroads by this time, but they operated through between Chicago and Oakland on the City of San Franscisco. With the exception of cafe-lounge or coach-lounge cars, this was also the case on the Overland. <br /> <br />A coach-club car operated between Chicago and Oakland on the Overland; it was replaced by a heavyweight SP cafe-lounge between Ogden and Oakland. C&NW had a total of 8 coach-club cars (rebuilt from prewar 400-type coaches) at this time, and UP then had 4 coach-clubs(rebuilt from prewar Challenger nurse-room coaches). The coach-club cars were assigned both to the Overland and to the Los Angeles Limited during this time period.
