CF's were used on almost all SP lines west of the Sierras. With the exception of the San Francisco commutes, CF's were used on the SF,SJ,&LA line until almost 1960. The CFs Were used extensivly for passenger service in the S.J. Valley and the Donner line. I never saw a CF adhere to a speed restriction except the ones placed due to general track restriction orders. If you check the records, a cab forward was never involved in a head-end collision that injured an engineer or fireman.
