I know your mistakes were just trying to make a point--but let's see if I can provide better answers:
1. Train 102 was the City of San Francisco.
2. The Sacramento Daylight connected with the San Joaquin Daylight at LATHROP-- later on at TRACY, until Amtrak eliminated Valley service.
3. Summit Station, Roundhouse, Turntable, et al, was located within Snowsheds at NORDEN.
4. UP merged with SP in 1996.
Hopefully that's OK..
