San Joaquin Daylight

San Joaquin Daylight

The San Joaquin Daylight was inaugurated between Los Angeles and Oakland Pier by way of the San Joaquin Valley and Tehachapi Pass on July 4, 1941. The new train sets painted in DAYLIGHT colors were actually composed of two head end cars rebuilt from heavyweights by the SP Sacramento shops and repainted DAYLIGHT colors to match the rest of the train sets. All new Pullman Standard built coaches were assigned to the two train sets both articulated pairs and singles. The 40 seat Dining Car and Parlor Observations were from the original 1937 DAYLIGHT train sets. Each of the SAN JOAQUIN DAYLIGHT train sets were composed of ten cars and for power the road initially assigned three P-10 class Pacific Locomotives 2383-2385 after semi streamlining them and repainting them in DAYLIGHT colors again at the Sacramento shops. A single Pacific was assigned as power between Oakland Pier and Bakersfield. A pair of those Pacific’s was assigned to power the SAN JOAQUIN DAYLIGHT between Los Angeles and Bakersfield. The helper P-10 that led the northbound SAN JOAQUIN DAYLIGHT from Los Angeles to Bakersfield returned as the helper on the southbound SAN JOAQUIN DAYLIGHT from Bakersfield. The inaugural runs were as follows.
