Five-car Lionel Southern Pacific Daylight passenger set in O Gauge, issued during Lionel’s MPC era in 1983. This matching aluminum-bodied consist recreates the bold red, orange, silver, and black look associated with Southern Pacific’s celebrated Daylight streamliners.
Southern Pacific’s Coast Daylight became one of America’s best-known passenger trains after the streamlined service debuted between San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1937. Its distinctive Daylight colors and dramatic streamlined equipment made it an enduring railroad icon—one that remains especially recognizable to West Coast railfans and collectors.
