SP Coast/San Joaquin January 1954 Timetable

A week ago, we saw a 1949 timetable for SP’s Coast Line and San Joaquin routes that was the equivalent of six pages long. This one is eight pages, the difference being a system map in the center. It seems strange that, when the railroad was cutting corners on its system timetable, it added two pages to this one just to include a map that was mostly irrelevant to the timetable itself.

The cover image shown above seems dated considering the company’s system timetables were showing all Diesel-powered trains. The image shows only one Diesel, a City of San Francisco locomotive that had been superseded by newer models. Also shown is a couple of Daylight steam locomotive that would pull the Coast Daylight for only one more year, a cab forward locomotive that would be retired in about two years, and four generic steam locomotives that probably represented 4-8-2 Mountains.

SP Coast/San Joaquin January 1954 Timetable — 1 Comment

  1. I have a 1962 San Joaquin line timetable that SP published showing both their service along with Santa Fe’s coordinated rail-bus service, plus connecting service to and from San Diego. IIRC about that time SP had tried or was about to try to have the San Joaquin Daylight discontinued south of Bakersfield, presumably to free up capacity for freight over Tehachapi. Maybe the “audience” for that timetable was not so much the traveling public as it was the regulators, to demonstrate to them that there was more than adequate service up and down the valley line and that the Daylight could be safely cut back and eventually done away with altogether. As it turned out, Santa Fe reduced the schedules of the Golden Gates beginning in 1963, and they were completely discontinued in 1965. The Fast Mail came off shortly after that, leaving the San Francisco Chief as the only Santa Fe train on the route. Despite SP’s efforts, the Daylight would last until the end of their involvement in running their own passenger trains.
