Nostalgia & History > Coast Starlight 1972Date: 04/21/21 15:45 Coast Starlight 1972 Author: smf2mry Summer 0f 1972, on that big curve above San Luis Obispo. I believe the Great Northern car may have been the dining car. I'm interested in what the second and third to the end cars are. As a bonus I caught one of those block indicator thingys in the picture.

The last 3 cars (two SP baggage-dorms and a coach) are likely deadheading. Date: 04/22/21 06:36 Re: Coast Starlight 1972 Author: Topfuel That consist is running in reverse order for some reason. Coaches and bag dorm (plus the 2 deadheads) on the rear instead of up front as usual.
