The train was inaugurated in June 1942. Its route headed westward from St. Louis and once reaching Pueblo, Colorado, worked in tandem with the Denver & Rio Grande Western to complete its journey to Denver.
In early 1964 the train lost its all-Pullman status and its dining services. Just a few years later it had completely lost its name and was cut back to just Kansas City, no more than a regional run, and remained this way until the start up of Amtrak in 1971.
