In the early 80's when Delta (freighter) Lines announced impending cessation of service, I planned a quick trip:
Jet: San Jose to Seattle
Train: Seattle to Tacoma
Ship (Santa Mariana): Tacoma to San Francisco (two nights and almost two days)
Train: SP commuter line from S.F. to Sunnyvale

Wish I had had the time and money to take the ship to L.A. or even all the way around South America. End of an era.

P.S. The ship's steward used dining chimes to announce meals---something I had not heard since the 50's on the Rock Island. Never heard them used on Amtrak.
