I was born in 1950, and when I was a little kid my parents would go camping at the beach. I was always so tickled to see the Daylight go by. Sometimes there'd be another steam train that would go by, or just a bare locomotive and tender, but they were just brutal looking black things. The Daylight was beautiful. I was so disappointed when they switched to diesel, but that's progress.
In 1954 I rode the overnight version of this route (Starlight?)from Glendale to San Francisco. I was used to diesels on passenger trains but noticed a rhythmic motion. When it stopped at San Luis Obispo I took a walk on the platform and to my surprise, there sat a steamer! Memorable trip!
For some reason it somehow felt like Deja vu when I came across this video, but it is so good to see another classic collection! Great work! *(Oh and btw, I’m posting this before Fabio Silva starts his typical spamming. Seriously, they are so annoying.)*

If time travel were possible, this journey - along with a visit to the 1964 World’s Fair - would easily be in my top ten! 👍
Most excellent, Hunter. Thank you.
Very nice. I remember those old SP streamlined steamers.
