Passenger trains from Dallas to L.A. in 1932 - Trains Magazine

I just looked in the January, 1930, issue of the Guide, and it shows a through St. Louis-Los Angeles sleeper and a through Memphis-Los Angeles sleeper via MP/T&P/SP that passed through Dallas. They left Dallas at 12:30 p.m. on the Sunshine Special, arrived in El Paso the next morning at 7:45, left at 9:40, on the Argonaut, and arrived in Los Angeles at 9:15 the next morning. Eastbound, the cars left Los Angeles at 6:15 p.m. on the Argonaut, arrived in El Paso at 8:oo the next evening, left El Paso at  8:15 p. m., on the Texan, and arrived in Dallas the next afternoon at 2:25. I do not know how long this through service lasted in the Thirties; at least one car may have survived through the Depression.

The AT&SFe showed no through service.
