Details
The Golden State Limited was a named passenger train operating between Chicago and Los Angeles from 1902 1968 by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad and the Southern Pacific Company and predecessors. It was named for California, which was, in many cases, called the Golden State . In the early years of the train, the drumhead, or lighted sign at the end of the observation car of the train, was done primarily in orange, with colored drawings of oranges on glass backlit by train lighting. The Golden State had the distinct advantage of transcontinental travel at a relatively low level crossing of the Continental Divide, approximately 4,400 feet near Lordsburg, New Mexico, thus avoiding severe winter weather, particularly snowfall. This was an advantage for patients with lung problems and other illnesses, particularly tuberculosis, for which no antibiotics were available until after World War II. The other major central transcontinental routes both reached elevations of more than 7,000 feet the Santa Fe near Flagstaff and the Union Pacific near Sherman Hill, Wyoming.
