The Southern Pacific built on the success of their Daylights with a special nocturnal train between Los Angeles and San Francisco / Oakland. The Daylight name and brilliant paint scheme seemed out of place, so the Lark came in two-tone gray. The train was an immediate success, selling out almost nightly to businessmen wanting comfortable and efficient overnight trips. The consist as we've presented it is typical of the train in the early 1950s after the observation car had been squared off and Southern Pacific replaced Pullman on the letter boards. A two-unit dining car approximates the articulated car on the prototype. By the mid-1950s, it was also commonplace to see cars in other SP liveries, including Daylight-painted lounge cars, as well as run-through cars from the "City" trains in Union Pacific paint. Through the 1940s and early 1950s, Daylight-painted GS class locomotives were standard power. After the transition to diesels, E7s, and PA's took over. Despite the special paint and marketing for the train itself, the Southern Pacific never painted any locomotives to match. But if you've got a more consistent consist in mind, we've got you covered with a special fantasy Larkinspired GS-2.
