  • Streamlined Passenger Trains in California
    Streamlined Passenger Trains in California STREAMLINED PASSENGER TRAINS IN CALIFORNIA By Paul T. Hobbs Passenger trains in California provided adequate schedules in several markets, much of it unglamorous and utilitarian. The carriers maintained a good quality of train service. There was little competition in the local operations, each represented in a distinct market segment. Transcontinental traffic was another matter, with three railroads competing for a share of both the Chicago to Los Angeles, and Chicago to San Francisco business. The innovations demonstrated in 1934 with the M-10000 on Union Pacific and Pioneer Zephyr on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy not only proved the viability of the diesel and distillate engines in high-speed service, but also modern lightweight construction techniques. By 1937 the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe all introduced streamlined trains into service to California. UP City of Los Angeles May 15, 1936 (1 consist) UP City of San Francisco June 14, 1936 (1 consist) SP Daylight March 21, 1937 (2 consists) ATSF Super Chief May 18, 1937 (1 consist) The Daylight , with two consists, provided daily service between Los Angeles and San Francisco along the Coast Line. Santa Fe and Union Pacific offered one “sailing” per week, on fast schedules, in addition to the existing heavyweight trains. Within another year several new trains were inaugurated, many of them streamlined. The Santa Fe Chief became the first daily transcontinental streamliner, replacing a heavyweight train of the same name.
