Remarks & Notes 
SP's one and only E8 heads train No. 99, the Coast Daylight, through Burlingame at something close to 79 mph. Well, after checking some special instructions maybe it was only 70 mph. But it was fast for a camera with a maximum shutter speed of 1/350th! The little tower controlled the crossing gates, and disappeared not long after the picture was taken. Anscochrome.

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.
