The ''Sunset Limited'' is a passenger train that for most of its history has run between New Orleans, Louisiana, and Los Angeles, California over the nation's second transcontinental route. Both passenger totals and revenues have shown a steady improvement in recent years. During fiscal year 2014, the ''Sunset Limited'' carried 105,000 passengers, an increase of 2.1% over FY2013, even as the total for all long distance service declined that year. But held back by running only three days a week (one of the two out of 15 long-distance trains that are not daily) the ''Sunset Ltd.'' carried the fewest passengers of any in the Amtrak system. For FY2014, it had a total revenue of $12,598,000, giving it a 2.6% increase over FY2013.〔 == Route == West of New Orleans, the route was owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad and is now owned by the BNSF Railway and the Union Pacific Railroad. The name ''Sunset Limited'' traces its origins to the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway, which was known as the ''Sunset Route'' as early as 1874. On the portion of the route east of New Orleans, service was suspended after Hurricane Katrina. Those tracks, between New Orleans and Florida, include parts of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad—all now owned by CSX Transportation. Currently, the segment of the former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad between DeLand and Orlando is owned by Central Florida Rail Corridor (CFRC) as of 2014. The train uses the following route segments, identified here by the names of their original owners: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunset Limited」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
