Coast Starlight
The last overnight service on the Southern Pacific's Coast Line was the "Lark", which ended on April 8, 1968. During the 1970s Amtrak operated the "Coast Starlight", which departed Los Angeles every morning for Seattle, Washington. The southbound "Coast Starlight" arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area in the morning and in Los Angeles by dinnertime, and at the time did not serve Sacramento, the state capital.
