The journey between Los Angeles and Chicago was advertised to take only 66 hours. During the summer months, multiple sections were necessary to accommodate high demand; reportedly 23 sections once operated from Chicago on one day. The train carried only Pullman sleeping cars (no coaches) until 1938.The Santa Fe re-equipped the California Limited in 1910 with a club-lounge, a twin-unit dining car, and new 7-2 (7 compartments, 2 drawing rooms) sleeping cars from Pullman. The weekly extra-fare Santa Fe de Luxe 1911 overshadowed the California Limited, but it remained a popular train. The introduction of the Chief in 1926 eclipsed the California Limited, although the train ran for another three decades.In October 1953, the train was scheduled to depart from Los Angeles at 1815 with coaches and sleepers-- no diner and no lounge. Breakfast stop at Seligman, lunch stop at Winslow, dinner stop at Albuquerque; next morning at La Junta it would add a diner for the rest of the run to Chicago (scheduled arrival 0830). It ran via Pasadena, Great Bend and Topeka. The California Limited was withdrawn from service on June 15, 1954, giving it the longest tenure of any train on the Chicago-Los Angeles run of the Santa Fe.
