With the SP cars, I would say that's an early Amtrak (after 5/1/71) Starlight.

When did the Starlight become the Starlight? The Cascade name was still used after Amtrak startup IIRC...

Just train numbers in the 5/1/1971 timetable. Coast Starlight name was introduced in the third timetable, 11/14/1971.
