The Pre-Amtrak trains I rode in the 50's were the "SP Shasta Daylight"(Trains 9 & 10), the "Senator"(Trains 223 & 224), the "San Francisco Overland"(Trains 27&28), the "Pocket" (Train 226) and the WP "California Zephyr" ...(Trains 17 &18)

Also the "Redwood" (Trains 3 & 4)... All of these trips were Roundtrip.. Infact, I rode the Shasta Daylight in 1957 roundtrip to Portland from Oakland Pier, and then again around 1959,
roundtrip from Oakland-16th Street to Albany, Oregon...

SUPERB service on ALL of them...
On the 1957 trip on the Shasta Daylight, I had connecting service via "GN" from Portland to Vancouver, B.C. via Seattle and return... GN trains were SUPERB too...
