The San Joaquin Daylight near Mococo
Author: photobob
I cant remember the year I took this but heres the Oakland bound San Joaquin Daylight on the Mococo Line a couple of miles from its station stop in Martinez. At this time the train was down to an articulated coach and an Automat car. It still had a mail contract and carried an RPO car.

The San Joaquin Daylight got down to a single articulated car set and an automat? Wow. I never saw it that small. But a great shot! Thanks again, Bob!

Mr. Morris, have you EVER known what it feels like to take mediocre photographs? I can't imagine you would since you've been doing incredible work for over 40 years. Great shot! Thanks for letting us see it.

Here's the REAL SJ Daylight, leaving Mojave westbound in the 1950s, a GS6 and a GS4 shaking the ground at the old Oak Creek crossing...

I'm still trying to get him to post his movies. The early Amtrak years would be my first vote.

Pics of the 'real' one are welcome, absolutely. Although some of us have some very fond and real memories of the 'fake'!

That poor little train would have looked a little more impressive east of Lathrop where the Sacramento car(s) came off. As it was I wonder what the count of revenue passengers vs. pass rider or deadheads was?
