I am trying to rack up as many points as possible so I can hit select and possibly even select+ within the next 2-3 months. I live in Ca and am really close to Union Station. Would it be possible to go from:

Union Station to Pomona (100pts on Texas Eagle)

Pomona back to Union Station (100pts Texas Eagle)

then on the same day

Union Station to Pomona (100pts on the sunset limited)

Pomona to Union Station (100pts on sunset limited)

then also on the same day

Union Station to Fullerton (100 pts on the Southwest Chef) then

Fullerton to Union Station (100pts on the southwest chef)

for a grand total of 600 points for one day? Is there a limit to the amount of points you can rack up in a day?

There is no limit per day, but I do see some problems with your (listed) plans.

#1) The Sunset Limited and the Texas Eagle operate as 1 train combined from SAS to LAX

and

#2) Don't all trains you state (TE/SL/SWC) depart LA in the evening and arrive into LA (assuming they're on time) the following morning?

Seeing that you live near Union Station, you may want to take the Surfliners back and forth to rack up points! ;) (There's more than 1 per day.)
