Was there ever a single train that ran straight from San Francisco to New York City, or any that ran truly from coast to coast?

Though the first Transcontinental Railroad was finished in 1869, the Overland Route seems to have only taken passengers between San Francisco and Council Bluffs, Iowa / Omaha, Nebraska via the Overland Flyer. Was there ever a train that ran straight from San Francisco to New York City, or for that matter, from any city that could be considered decidedly on the Pacific to one that sat on the Atlantic?
