STARTS ON ITS INITIAL TRIP
TUESDAY NEXT.
Will Run Semi Weekly for the Com
ing Winter Season Between San
Francisco and New Orleans.

| On Tuesday next at 10 p. m. the
Southern Pacific's great train. Sun
set Limited" will start on its initial
trip Of the season for New Orleans,
and continue thereafter twice a week
in both directions until probably the
middle or last Of April next
This is the fifth season of this mag
nificent and justly celebrated train, and
all that portion of the first class travel
| ing public which has any relation
whatever with California welcomes its
temperance with rejoicing and
Thanksgiving.
Sunset Limited is different from all
other trains First Of all, it is the very
highest achievement of the science of
transportation, and it is by no means
a mere meaningless advertising license
to characterize it as the finest railroad
train in regular service in the world.
Then the service! People who travel
need not be told of the thousand and
one annoyances that beset them from
start to finish in the ordinary methods
of travelling. None of that on Sunset
Limited A trip on that train is more
! than a pleasure; it is a great novelty.
| The Southern Pacific has never lost
sight of the desirability of California as
! q winter residence for people in the
East who could not endure the rigors
| of Eastern climate. 1t has long real
! lied, too, that It's southern route, famtl
| iarly known as the Sunset route, is
without exception the most desirable
road leading into the State for travel in
cold weather. California is long way
from the East, and many who would
| otherwise be glad to spend their Win
tiers here stayed away rather than face
| the trying ordeal of getting here.
The one thing needful, therefore, to
make the natural tie between Califor-
MIA and the East binding and
indissoluble was the means Of get
| ting here with absolute ease and COM
| fort. This has all been solved by Sun
set Limited. That magnificent flying
| palace is exactly as comfortable and
luxurious and enjoys as many conve-
! niences between San Francisco and
| New Orleans as the finest apartments
in the finest hotel in California, and 1t
| doesn't cost a cent more than travelling
! in first class trains of other lines. You
don't have to buy daily papers or mag
azines or literature of any kind any
| where en- route; writing material is
supplied in abundance; the ladies have
| a waiting maid In constant attendance;
! gentlemen have a barber shop and
bathroom; both luxurious parlors and
| observation apartments, in which to
lounge and be sociable; and the grade
of living afforded by the exquisite din
ing car will hardly bear description for
fear Of seeming exaggerated. The
severest injunction is placed upon the
train operatives to not only be vigilant
| in keeping away all annovances to pas
sengers but even to anticipate their
wishes and pleasure and treat them as
though they were entertaining guests.
That sort of thing didn't have to con-
tinue long to spread the fame of the
Limited and endear 1t to the heart Of
! every traveller, nor is it surprising to
| hear many of our visitors say that they
come to California every winter as
much for the pleasure of the trip as the
visit.
1t is in this way that Sunset Limited
Is so closely related to California. 1t Is
| distinctly Californian. 1t was born
here, is a true native product, enjoys
! the superior quality, enterprise and
pride of California, and has done more,
! it might almost be said than any other
single cause to spread CALIFORNIA; glo-
| rious fame and endear her to all the
| world.
Sunset Limited is worthy of the
patronage of all Californians. 1t will
leave San Francisco every Tuesday and
Saturday at 10 p. m. for New Orleans,
and connect there with through limited
! trains for all parts of the South and
| Fast
