Interesting to note no one had a "nightmare" experience on SP, even in the 60s. Perhaps D. Morgan and F. Frailey were right about Russell, i.e. SP ran trains that were compatible with the markets they served. Hence the Sunset was little more than an accommodation train, while the Cascade, even in the late 60s was a respectable coach/sleper operation with full meal and lounge service. Also note that SP never sought to drop the Daylight.
