Description
Assigned cars from each of the three operating roads, the City of San Francisco offered one of the most unique travel experiences in all of American railroading. As the primary partner, UP insisted all cars be painted to match its standard Armour Yellow and Harbor Mist Gray, but each carried the owner’s name in red in the letterboard. Typical of the era, the train offered something for every traveler. For businessmen and budget-minded folks, lower-priced long-distance coaches and more relaxed food service were available. For those who wanted more privacy or space to stretch out a full-service diner, lounge and a variety of spacious sleeping car spaces were available. All 14 cars model a typical day’s consist and are available while supplies last in standard versions with decals for easy customizing or with factory-printed names and numbers.
