My favorite RR and trains were and always will be Southern Pacific and their Daylight's and Lark trains. I have always loved taking trains at night, especially out of San Francisco back in the days of the Lark. There was just something special about traveling on those Lark trains at night. Back in the 60's when I did a lot of train riding, you never knew what kind of engine consist that would be on the train you were on. I remember sometimes being pulled by beautiful E's or PA's or even a string of F's on SP's Lark's. I really miss those days. Anybody remember the locomotive wars that went on back then? Alco, EMD, Baldwin, GE? There were some interesting engine lash-up's on both frieght and passenger trains during those times. <br /> <br />It would be nice if Amtrak could have a midnight Lark train leaving out of San Francisco again, even though the San Francisco station is now Cal Trains. But, having a midnight Lark train leaving out of Oakland/Emeryville would be nice too. <br /> <br />Other favorite passenger trains of mine are Western Pacifics California Zephyr and Santa Fe's Chief's and El Capitain's. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to ride either of those wonderful trains.
