United States
Some of the most elite trains in the United States in the twentieth century were called "limited", a name that typically graced overnight trains that made very few stops. (However, the fastest train between New York and Washington DC, a day train, in the Pennsylvania Railroad era was called the Congressional Limited Express, and it had few stops, like the longer distance "Limiteds".) Famous limiteds of America have included the 20th Century Limited and its successor the Lake Shore Limited, the Broadway Limited, and the National Limited.
