City of Las Vegas (train) : ウィキペディア英語版 | City of Las Vegas (train)
The ''City of Las Vegas'' was a streamlined passenger train operated by the Union Pacific Railroad between Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles, California. It operated from 1956 to 1968. It was one of several trains to operate with the experimental General Motors ''Aerotrain'', although this experiment was short-lived. After the 1961 the train was known as the ''Las Vegas Holiday Special''. == History == The Union Pacific introduced the ''City of Las Vegas'' on December 18, 1956. The service initially used General Motors' experimental ''Aerotrain'' trainset, but the Union Pacific ended their lease within a year due to maintenance and performance problems including needing a helper engine to climb Cajon Pass.〔 The train continued with standard streamlined cars in UP's ''Armour Yellow'' paint, leaving Los Angeles in the morning and returning in the evening. On September 24, 1961 the name was changed to ''Las Vegas Holiday Special'', when the consist and frequency were reduced. Service ended altogether on June 15, 1968.
