Learn more about Southern Pacific Coast Daylight.The Coast Daylight, originally known as the Daylight Limited, was a passenger train on the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) between Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, via SP’s Coast Line. It was advertised as the “most beautiful passenger train in the world,carrying a particular red, orange, and black color scheme. The train operated from 1937 until 1974, one of the few passenger trains retained by Amtrak in 1971. Amtrak merged it with the Coast Starlight in 1974.

Making your own coffee? Here are some tips:

1.  Pack a small silicone spatula; it makes scooping grounds out of a French press much easier.
2. If you’re pre-grinding your coffee, use fresh beans (they start to lose flavor two weeks after roasting). Weigh out portions with a scale to ensure precise ratios.
3. If you’re packing whole beans (recommended), invest in a nice hand grinder. An even grind can make a big difference in taste.
4. Designate a separate coffee cup. Otherwise, you’ll get a whiff of last night’s leftovers in your morning brew.
5. “Don’t worry so much about messing up,”. Remember that no matter how bad a cup of coffee you make at home, that exact same cup will taste infinitely better just because you’re thinking about trains. So experiment, figure out what you like, and let yourself have fun with it.”
