- The Oriental Limited was a named passenger train that ran between Chicago, Illinois and Seattle, Washington. The train was operated by the Great Northern Railway between St. Paul, Minnesota and Seattle, Washington, and by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad between St. Paul and Chicago. The train's name was intended to be evocative of travel to the Far East and Japan, since trans-Pacific Great Northern steamships once connected with the railway's trains in Seattle. The Oriental Limited started in December 1905 as a St. Paul–Seattle train; the route was extended to Chicago in 1909. In summer 1926 it was scheduled Chicago to Seattle in 70 hours. It was the premiere train on its route until 1929 when the Empire Builder started. The Oriental Limited name disappeared in 1931, and during the Great Depression and beyond the Great Northern operated only one through train between Chicago and the coast. The Oriental Limited name returned in 1946, when the railroad's secondary through train was resumed, but that train became the Western Star in 1951. (en)
- L'Oriental Limited fu un treno passeggeri che effettuava servizio tra Chicago, nell'Illinois, e Seattle, nello stato di Washington. Il servizio era gestito da Great Northern Railway tra Saint Paul, nel Minnesota, e Seattle, mentre tra Saint Paul e Chicago era gestito da Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. Il nome del treno voleva essere evocativo per richiamare il viaggio verso l'Estremo Oriente, dato che i battelli trans-oceanici della Great Northern erano un tempo interconnessi con i treni presso Seattle. L'Oriental Limited fu introdotto nel dicembre 1905 come servizio tra Saint Paul e Seattle; il tragitto fu poi esteso a Chicago nel 1909. Nell'estate 1926 l'intero percorso da Chicago a Seattle richiedeva 70 ore. Fu il primo treno su questa tratta finché nel 1929 iniziò il servizio l'Empire Builder. Il nome "Oriental Limited" scomparve nel 1931, e durante e dopo la Grande depressione la Great Northern fece funzionare un solo treno tra Chicago e la costa ovest. Lo stesso nome tornò nel 1946, quando riprese un servizio secondario sulla stessa ferrovia, ma quel treno divenne poi conosciuto come dal 1951. (it)
