Union Pacific’s 1939 timetable, this copy of which was contributed by a Streamliner Memories reader, shows three daily trains each between Chicago and Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco, and Chicago and Portland. However, this is a little deceptive as the San Francisco and Los Angeles Challengers operated on a schedule just five minutes different from the Overland Limited and Los Angeles Limited. The third train on the Portland schedule is the San Francisco Challenger, whose Portland cars were added to the Portland Rose in Green River, so it really wasn’t a third train at all.

In addition, the premiere trains, Los Angeles Limted, Overland Limited, and Portland Rose all departed and arrived in Chicago at exactly the same times, which makes me think UP was operating them as one train out of Chicago and split or merged the trains at Green River and Ogden, making it a “heavyweight of everywhere.”

The streamliners City of Los Angeles, City of Portland, and City of San Francisco also all departed Chicago at the same times. However, these operated only five days a month each and the days didn’t overlap, so there wasn’t a problem of two trains occupying the same tracks at the same time.
Two days ago, I noted that UP’s pre-streamliner timetables had a different format, with all Chicago-West Coast trains on the same pages while this timetable has separate pages for trains to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Portland. This format is easier to read but takes more space: the 1924 timetable was 48 pages while this one is 64. The UP must have decided that 16 extra pages of cheap newsprint was a small price to pay for clarity.
It looks as though the Los Angeles Limited and Overland Limited were combined all the way to Ogden, although this is surprising inasmuch as SP was still very much a pro-passenger road in 1939 and would presumably have frowned on the Overland, with its proud pedigree, being combined with any other train. Perhaps the two ran as separate sections on the same schedule?
