The Coast Daylight was dieselized in January 1955, so it seems likely that the SJ Daylight was still under steam power for some time after that, given its lower status in the SP passenger train pecking order. I seem to recall reading that steam had been banished from all but the SF peninsula commutes by 1957, but I could be mistaken.
