SP GOLDEN STATE VISTAVISION DOME

 

One of the last great streamliners, the Golden State came about in 1947 as the Rock Island and Southern Pacific competed against faster schedules o ffered by the Union Pacific and Santa Fe for Chicago to Los Angeles. The two railroads swapped l ocomotives at Tucumcari but the cars traveled through. It did not take long before the equipment w as mixed together.Connecting cars from New York were also carried on the train supplied by the Pennsylvania and painted to match the consist until around 1950. Owing to fading color (and revenue) the Golden State started losing its red paint in 1953. It was not rare for either road to substitute other cars from their fleets as needed, l eading to very eclectic consists. While the train never matched the grandeur of its competition, its shortcomings were part of its character. A wild mix of car types, locomotives and paint schemes make this train an interesting subject to model.
