Remarks & Notes

Southern Pacific's famed "Coast Daylight" (known as the "most beautiful train in the world"), train 99, ascends the grade at Chatsworth as it heads from the San Fernando Valley northward (railroad west) on its journey from Los Angeles to San Francisco. A GS-4 class 4-8-4 is in charge of the train this day.

In the years after World War II Southern Pacific went from being the most bullish railroad on passenger service to one of its biggest detractors. It continually downgraded service until Amtrak took over what remained.
