Spirit of California

Spirit of California

Amtrak's "Spirit of California" was created by California Governor Jerry Brown as a state supported Section 401(b) passenger train. It ran from Los Angeles, California, to Sacramento, California, via the Southern Pacific's Coast Line (via San Luis Obispo). The train operated as on overnight-only train, leaving one terminus at approximately 8 PM and arriving at the other at approximately 8AM the next morning.

The Spirit of California's usual consist was:

* EMD F40PH
* Heritage Fleet Baggage Car
* Heritage Fleet 10-6 Sleeper
* Amfleet I Coach
* Amfleet I Coach
* Amfleet I Café
* Amfleet I Coach
* Amfleet I Coach

Governor George Deukmejian cut funding for the train. Amtrak supporters scrambled to find additional funding. It was proposed that The state of Nevada fund the train for service to Reno, but this proposal was never passed by the Nevada legislature. The "Spirit of California" was discontinued on September 30 1983.
