The renewed train was the Treasure Island Special, which joined the City of San Francisco and Forty-Niner in five-day-a-month service. Inaugurated in June, 1939, to meet demand generated by the Golden Gate Exposition, the Treasure Island Special used heavyweight equipment in its first year, but (as advertised in this timetable) was upgraded to mostly streamlined equipment in 1940. The schedule was speeded up by only about an hour, probably because the train was still powered by steam. Beginning in December, 1940, the lightweight equipment that had served the summer-only Treasure Island Special was applied to the winter-only Arizona Limited.
