First up is train 106, the combined City of Portland-St. Louis behind a Milwaukee Road E9. At Denver, the City of St. Louis will continue its eastward journey via Kansas City as Train 10.

Starting in the 1970s, the railroad will further consolidate its City fleet, eventually producing a grotesque combnation dubbed by railfans the City of Everywhere.
