The Oakland bound San Joaquin Daylight pulls out of Fresno in the early 1960's.

Another great shot, Bob.  The only time I've been through Fresno on the SP was when I had to run #11 from SAC down the BFD back in January of '09 or '10.  I forget which.  I think the UP was replacing a bridge on the Coast at the time.

Unusual to have three baggage cars - could that have been around Christmas?

Sun is fairly high in the sky, so probably not.
