0:09 Southern Pacific train no. 76, the Lark, pulls into Los Angeles Union Station. The all-sleeper, deluxe train was the way to travel between San Francisco and Los Angeles. At its head, three-unit diesel no. 6002, an A-B-B E7 set fresh from EMD in 1947. They are in their original "Golden State" livery, but do not have a road number beneath the headlight, which suggests that this film was taken before 1949.
1:51 It looks like less than half the passengers remember to tip the Pullman-car porter.
2:52 Another day, and another Southern Pacific train arrives in LA. Although the shield on the engine nose says "Shasta Daylight," the train number says that this is the Sunset Limited out of New Orleans.
4:29 An unknown train slowly slides in on track 10.
A correction: the music on the soundtrack is the Harry James version of "You Made Me Love You." Thanks to KZbinr newdealswing for pointing this out!
