Southern Pacific Daylight: Los Angeles - San Francisco | Circa 1960 - 1968
The Southern Pacific Coast Daylight Trains 98 and 99 throughout the 1960s slowly lost the glamour and prestige they once maintained only a few years prior. The new interstate freeway network, and equally new commercial jet air travel put a serious dent into the revenue books for passenger trains all over the country.
The Southern Pacific by 1958 was already standardizing the paint on all of its passenger equipment to the Sunset colors of red and stainless, and into the 1960s, equipment was slowly painted from the classic red and orange, into this new standard scheme. Also in the early 60s, the railroad began phasing out its dining car service with their new automat cars, rebuilt from two t...

    Very enjoyable seeing older footage of UP 844 (8444) in operation back in the 1960s-'70s, the 844 has been a popular excursion service locomotive for more than 60 years and I am glad that 844 has had a long excursion career and still exists today. I personally want to have a chance to see UP 844 for myself up close in person at some point in the future as that would be an enjoyable experience.

    I've had this question for many years now? Why do or did the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe engines have that flashing yellow light on top of the locomotive cab? I've always wondered why this is? Not to mention during daylight hours, you can hardly even see that flashing yellow light? Thank you to anyone who can enlighten me. BTW, I think Union Pacific also used those yellow flashing lights?

    • @mikehawk2003
      @mikehawk2003 24 дня назад

      It was just an additional safety feature ATSF added on their locomotives to satisfy any potential California legislation on safety lights. SP followed ATSF practice in 1986 during the failed merger to reduce costs as the financial stability of SP declined.

    Those were the days before Amtrak. I am 73 years old. When I was young at least twice my family traveled from Los Angeles to Chicago by the Santa Fe El Capitan Hi level cars. Then from Chicago to Cleveland Ohio by a New York Central train. We also traveled back from Cleveland to Los Angeles by these trains. Not long after my family train travels the United States government formed Amtrak to take over the declining passenger service from the railroad companies.
