The higher-category trains that operated between Kyoto and Osaka at that time consisted of two types--limited express and express trains--and the actual limited express stops eventually corresponded to the express stops, except for two stations (Saiin Station and Omiya Station) in Kyoto City, at which the actual limited express went nonstop.
なお、当時の京阪間の優等列車は特急・急行の2本立てであり、現在の特急停車駅は、結果的に当時の急行から京都市内2駅（西院と大宮）を通過にしただけである。
