This particular view is a breathtaking high-angle, panoramic shot showing the entire length of the streamlined train as it navigates the tracks perched above the Pacific Ocean. Sea stacks are visible just offshore, adding to the dramatic beauty of the scene. The front includes a descriptive caption about the train’s famous “dawn-to-dusk flight” between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Type: Real Photo Postcard (RPPC). Railroad: Southern Pacific (SP). Train: “Daylight” Streamline Passenger Train. Subject: A high-angle, panoramic action shot of the SP Daylight on its famous coastal run. The reverse has an EKC (Eastman Kodak Company) stamp box area, correct for the time period. Usage: Unposted / Unused. Condition: Excellent, near-mint condition. The image is crisp, clear, and offers a magnificent panoramic perspective. The card is very clean with sharp corners. Please see the high-resolution scans for the most accurate assessment. A truly exceptional and investment-grade postcard, representing the pinnacle of American railroad scenic photography. This description was generated by AI – it may have some inaccurate details about the card. I try to vet all information myself, however some details may be overlooked.
