Shasta Daylight
The Shasta Daylight was a Southern Pacific Railroad passenger train between Oakland Pier in Oakland, California, and Portland, Oregon. It started on July 10, 1949, and was SP's third "Daylight" streamliner; it had a fast 15-hour-30-minute schedule in either direction for the trip through some of the most beautiful mountain scenery of any train in North America. The "Shasta Daylight" replaced heavyweight trains on the same route that had taken nearly a day and night to complete the run. The "Shasta Daylight" was the first diesel powered Daylight and the only Daylight to run beyond California. The scenic route of the "Shasta Daylight" passed its namesake Mount Shasta in daylight hours.
