in 1940, but a year newer, with an additional articulated coach. The Noon Daylight mixed old and new equipment: the baggage-coaches from the 1937 train the articulated coaches from the 1940 Morning Daylight the triple-unit coffee shop-kitchen-dining cars from the 1940 Morning Daylight a new articulated coach pair, seating 46 like all the others the 44-seat coach from the 1940 Morning Daylight the parlor car from the 1937 train the parlor-observation car from the 1940 Morning Daylight With the discontinuance of the Noon Daylight in 1949 its cars were reassigned to the San Joaquin Daylight and Starlight. The Coast Daylight gained new 48-seat coaches from Pullman-Standard in 1954, three per train. Dining cars were eliminated in the 1960s, replaced by Automat cars that offered food from vending machines instead of made-to-order meals in the dining cars, cutting the cost of the train's dining crew. Locomotives Two Coast Daylight locomotives survive: Southern Pacific 4449, a GS-4 steam locomotive which was a Bicentennial American Freedom Train engine in 1975–76, and Southern Pacific 6051, an EMD E9 diesel locomotive.
