Weekend-only rail service between San Francisco and Los Angeles was initiated in 1922, and by 1923, became a daily service. To make the most of the scenery, two-thirds of the train's observation car was open-air. This same image was used on the cover of a 1928 Southern Pacific brochure entitled "California for the Tourist / Southern Pacific."
