Locomotives
Each of the three roads handling the City of San Francisco used their own motive power on home rails - but some traveled well beyond on occasion! Starting in late 1955, Milwaukee Road E9A-B-A sets built and painted to UP specifications moved the trains between Chicago and Omaha, Union Pacific's own E9A-B sets took over for the run from Omaha to Ogden, and from Ogden to Oakland, Southern Pacific Alco PA-PBs in Daylight colors led the way.

Based on 12 PA-PA sets ordered especially for Southern Pacific's Texas & New Orleans subsidiary in 1949. Outwardly similar but without dynamic brakes, all were finished in Daylight colors and lettered for Southern Pacific. They were used in their home territory on various passenger and mail trains until 1959 when they were sent west. There, they were assigned to coast service trains, and were used as trailing units elsewhere due to the lack of Automatic Train Stop (ATS) and pilot plows. Road-and era-specific details include:
- 5-chime air horn
- Nondynamic
- Standard pilot
