Post War Version of the
“MORNING DAYLIGHT”
PASSENGER CAR CONSIST 
 
Southern Pacific “Morning Daylight” 
In the 1940s, the Southern Pacific “Morning Daylight” was possibly the world’s most beautiful train, 
its orange and red striping being reserved for the SP’s premier train lines. This “Morning Daylight” 
consist ran between Los Angeles and San Francisco along the beautiful California coast, past cities 
such as Ventura, Santa Barbara, Salinas and San Jose. Heading up the “Morning Daylight” was the 
specially built steam locomotive, the GS-4, one of the most well known steam engines ever designed. 
 
The SP “Morning Daylight” was an all Pullman built lightweight passenger train consisting of: 
1 Baggage-Chair car (44 seat)
1 Coffee Shop (1st third of articulated car)
1 Kitchen car (2nd third of articulated car)
1  Dining car (final 3rd of articulated car)
10 Articulated Chair cars (each 46 seat)
1 Chair car (44 seat)1 Tavern car (56 seat)
1 Parlor car (27 seat)                       
1 Parlor Observation car (22 seat) 
 
The “Daylight” cars are fitted with operating outer 
diaphragms, which makes the entire train appear as one contiguous unit rather than 
separate individual cars.   Cars were added and subtracted from the consist as traffic warranted.
