Like the Broadway, the 20th Century were all Pullmans, no coach and ran between Chgo & NY.

Assume you are talking prior to the 50's . However in the 50's with the stainless steel cars/diesel the consist also included a AT&SF pullman car out of NY and transferred in Chgo for it's continuing journey west. Don't know if this was done with the earlier cars.
