My Grandmother Jean W travelled to San Diego from Glasgow in the early part of C20 - and pre WW1. She would have travelled from Glasgow to New York..and then to San Diego where she worked for the Peabody Trust. And then back to Glasgow. All this on her own., where she married, my Grandfather.in Glasgow. She was a teacher - music and mathematics.
2:22:40: Correction: Amtrak's unnamed Trains 11 and 14 (later to be named Coast Starlight, but not yet) did not operate into San Diego. It terminated at LAUPT, but transferred a coach and sleeper on the rear of a connecting San Diegan train, providing thru coach and sleeper service until 1972. I know. I have pictures (June 23, 1971: ATSF F7A-B, ATSF baggage & two ATSF coaches + SP 4-4-2 Pullman & SP Shasta chair for Seattle).
If you look at the public timetable for 1971, you'll see what would eventually become the Coast Starlight, then numbered Trains 11 and 12, were listed as terminating/originating out of San Diego. Under the "equipment" section of the timetable it lists the full amenities of the train being available all the way to and from San Diego. I don't know exactly when it was turned into through service, the full train did operate to and from San Diego for a time.
Great presentation and nice work. Just one comcern should a museum board member be using the term foamer to refer to every excursion train on the presentation especially when the museum relys on excursion train revenue? Imagine a train enthusiasts with some money looking to donate money to preservation at some museum and they hear that.

Very interesting thankyou!
What a rush this is, growing up from 59-76 in San Diego and getting my interest in trains there. This is awesome. I also built 2 blogs on The SD&AE.
I learned so much from this! Very interesting. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I wish I could have been there! Glad to see the extension of an article he wrote for my website back in 2019!

It's a term of endearment
