Having reduced its 1962 system timetable to be as small as its condensed timetables of the 1950s, SP shrunk its condensed timetable to a brochure with the equivalent of 6 pages. That’s effectively one page each for the Sunset, Golden State, Overland, Shasta, and Coast routes plus a half page for the San Joaquin route.

A handful of bus and rail connections are also included. Rail connections include trains from Portland to Seattle and Spokane, passenger trains into Mexico over the former SP West Coast route as well as from Cuidad Juarez, plus Santa Fe trains from Los Angeles to San Diego. However, no connections at Chicago are shown, probably because SP didn’t actually go to Chicago even if some of its trains did.
Note the Coast Daylight’s consist: chair cars, parlor car, dome lounge. Yes, the automat car is there, but during the holidays and the summer travel season the coffee shop car was reinstated, and I think this lasted until 1969. So SP never really gave up on 98 and 99, and in fact it was the only pair of trains that SP never tried to discontinue. Why, it seems that old Don Russell and Ben Biaggini had a soft spot for the Daylight.
