SEE TWICE AS MUCH This map of Southern Pacific's famous Four Scenic Routes shows how the Daylight (in red) links our SUN- SET ROUTE and ROUTE with our OVER- LAND ROUTE and SHASTA ROUTE. The Daylight gives new meaning to Southern Pacific's great travel bonus: "Go one way, return another. See twice as much." By going on one of these Four Scenic Routes and re- turning on another one, you see twice as much of the United States as you would by going and returning on the same route. And you see the beautiful California coast through the wide windows of the new Daylight.
