I lived in Dallas for many years.  A friend who grew up there recalled traveling to California as a young boy on the train in the 1950s.  He remembered that the train went from Dallas to Cleburne, Brownwood, New Mexico, and Los Angeles.  He believed it was on the Santa Fe.  The Santa Fe operated The Angelo from Dallas to San Angelo (Nos. 77 and 78).  It began operations in 1931 and continued until 1965.  The train left Dallas at approximately 9:30 p.m. and arrived in Brownwood at 8:30 a.m.  There some cars from The Angelo were apparently switched to the California Special for the trip to Clovis and on to California.   My friend remembered making the trip several times with his mother.  He does not remember whether he had to change trains in Brownwood or Clovis.  He and his mother rode coach.  Doing so did not turn him into a rail fan.  He remembers the trip as being long and tedious.
