Ken, I don't know how I didn't see this 3 years ago. I really enjoyed reading it because I love the SP and its relationship to the Bay Area. I was born and raised in San Francisco. I was enamored with seeing SP steam still active as a young boy. I now live on the Peninsula. Every day when I pass the Caltrain (former SP) tracks I think twice a day the Daylight passed here. At night, in San Bruno I hear the UP freight trains passing by and think when my current house was built in 1949, the original residents used to hear the Daylight and SP commuter trains. Thanks for posting the article. Your grandfather was a Bay Area legend. You were lucky to be witness to his passion of modeling. Please write the book.
