Remarks & Notes 
The well-known red, orange and black of "Daylight" was the stamp of approval among seasoned travellers in the West on July 10, 1949, when this flashy new streamliner took to the rails of the Southern Pacific for the high-speed 718 miles mountainous run between San Francisco, California, and Portland, Oregon. Posed for a pre-inaugural publicity photograph beside scenic Odell Lake in Oregon, the "Million Dollar Shasta Daylight with the Million Dollar View" bears the trademark of Southern Pacific Passenger Plush. The 15 and a half-hour schedule is, the fastest in the history of Shasta Route trains. resulted from intelligent planning by Southern Pacific passenger men, the new Cascade Line, and a long, fairly tangent stretch across the high plateau midway on the run as well as the long tangent up the Sacramento Valley at the southern end.

In the years after World War II Southern Pacific went from being the most bullish railroad on passenger service to one of its biggest detractors. It continually downgraded service until Amtrak took over what remained.
