My mother wasn't a railfan (my father was) and my mother rode the SP from San Jose to SF frequently to shop and she always referred to the SP commuters as the "rattlers" which I don't think had anything to do with the engines pulling them. Possibly the sounds in the px cars had something to do with it also??
