The S.S. Dixie was built in 1928 and used by the Southern Pacific to carry passengers from its rail terminus in New Orleans to New York City. As described in this issue of West, it had a swimming pool, a fine dining room, and staterooms with “Pullman-sized berths.” Less than a year after this was published, SP sold it to the U.S. Navy, which renamed it the U.S.S. Alcor and used it as a destroyer tender.

Dated May 1940, this must have been the third issue of West. The first issue in March 1940 (which I don’t have) covered the Golden Gate Exposition and the April 1940 issue described the Californian. Although SP dropped the cover dates in many later issues, the original intention must have been to publish the Life-magazine-style brochures monthly.
The Noon Daylight was suspended soon after WW II broke out, due to wartime restrictions on duplicate service. It was reinstated after the war, but SP found that all the daytime passenger demand could be handled by the Morning Daylight.
At the same time, SP had the Coaster as their secondary overnight train on the coast route. IIRC, the Coaster was discontinued when the Starlight began operating, but there was still a group of passengers who had patronized the Coaster because (a) they preferred the earlier departure and arrival and/or (b) felt that the heavyweight equipment rode more smoothly and therefore ensured a better night’s sleep. For these passengers, SP attached a heavyweight sleeper or two to the Starlight, but they never advertised this service.
