Product Details

In 1937 the Southern Pacific Railroad trumpeted a new train in full-page magazine ads:

Let us stand by the tracks of Southern Pacific's Coast Line, as thousands now do every day and listen. Suddenly from far off comes a musical note, rising. Round a curve flashes a streak of color. Here comes the Daylight, the most beautiful train in the West!

Presenting a glorious splash of orange and red from locomotive to observation car, the Daylights linked Los Angeles and San Francisco "in a glorious daylight trip, streaking along the Pacific Ocean for more than a hundred breathless miles." Leading the trains were the Southern Pacific's class GS (for "Golden State") 4-8-4 Northerns, arguably among the handsomest steam engines ever built.

A lone GS-4, No. 4449, was saved from the scrapper restored in 1975 to pull the American Freedom train in celebration of our nation's 200th anniversary. Repainted in Daylight colors, the engine operates today in excursion service.
