Equipment Used
A wide variety of steam- and diesel-powered locomotives served the California Limited over the course of its lifetime.
In 1892, the rolling stock delivered for the California Limited consisted of all heavyweight cars built by the Pullman-Standard. The equipment used on each train was as follows:
- a compartment and drawing-room Sleeping car
- a Dining car that served "the best Fred Harvey meals on rails"
- a Club car / Parlor car
- a full-compartment Sleeping car
- a compartment drawing-room Sleeping car
- a combination 10-compartment Sleeping car / open-end Observation car
Though the cars would in time change to the all-steel heavyweight variety, followed eventually by stainless-steel lightweight construction, for years the consist of the California Limited remained at only six cars per section.

“Dr. Scofield’s equipment, which you have just seen, radiated waves direct to Professor Houghland’s laboratory. When these waves came in contact with those the professor’s equipment was radiating, they created the interstellar frequency, which is the death ray.”
