The Broadway Limited was a passenger train operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) between New York City and Chicago.

The Broadway Limited continued operating after the formation of Penn Central (PC) in February 1968, one of the few long-distance trains to do so.

The train's name referred not to Broadway in Manhattan, but rather to the "broad way" of PRR's four-track right-of-way along the majority of its route.

The Broadway Limited was one of four pre-World War II PRR trains to receive such equipment; the others being the General (New York–Chicago), Spirit of St. Louis (New York–St.

The Broadway Limited was the only PRR train to be completely re-equipped with lightweight sleeping cars before World War II.

[11] The PRR in October 1957 eliminated the train's transcontinental sleeping cars connecting with the original California Zephyr and the Santa Fe's Super Chief.

Amtrak's Broadway Limited had a Washington, D.C. section east of Harrisburg that used the Port Road Branch.

"[17] In the 1970s, the Broadway Limited experienced chronic lateness due to poor track conditions in the Midwest.

These changes included:[18] Amtrak ultimately discontinued the Broadway Limited on September 10, 1995, in the face of significant funding problems.

[21] Pullman-Standard built the entirety of the equipment pool for the 1938 lightweight re-equipping, with the exception of two dining cars which were rebuilt in PRR's Altoona shops.

[25] Amtrak singled out the Broadway Limited for special treatment and in 1972 completely refurbished its equipment, most of which was ex-PC, although former Union Pacific Railroad sleeping cars were also used.

The Broadway Limited began receiving rebuilt Heritage Fleet cars in 1980, and Amfleet coaches thereafter.
