going to do some sp daylight, so here is some history

The original 1937 Daylight cars were fluted side cars. The 1939 & 1941 Daylight cars were also fluted side cars. The Shasta Daylight was built with smooth side cars except for the Parlour Observation cars which were 1941 cars.

The present day cars used behind SP 4449 are a mix of cars from various roads that have been painted in Daylight paint. There are some SP cars though. The RPO(Tool & work) is a former Great Northern car from the 1947 Empire Builder. The combine and parlour obs are Daylight cars as are some of the coaches.

In the late 1950's SP resided the fluted side cars with stainless steel sides making them smooth side cars. The Daylight cars were then stainless steel with a red letterboard and dark grey underbody.
