Locomotives
SP initially assigned three P-10 class Pacific steam locomotives 2383-2385 after semi-streamlining them and painting them in Daylight colors at the Sacramento shops. A single Pacific ran between Oakland Pier and Bakersfield; a pair of those Pacifics was assigned between Los Angeles and Bakersfield. The helper P-10 that led the northbound San Joaquin Daylight from Los Angeles to Bakersfield returned on the southbound San Joaquin Daylight from Bakersfield.
Diesel power included EMD F-units and Alco PAs, later supplemented by GP9s and SDP45s.

In the days of long ago,
Ranged where the locomotives sing
And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
