The legend on the back of this postcard reads: 'The brightly colored, orange and red, Million Dollar Southern Pacific "Daylight" speeds daily between San Francisco and Los Angeles -- the route of the Missions.  No rail trip anywhere, unfolds more thrilling scenery -- following the very edge of the Pacific Ocean for more than a hundred miles'.  This postcard is identified by the number OB-H679 and includes writing on the back.  The postmark is as follows: Los Angeles R. P. O., TR 5 and was stamped on March 27, 1947.  It is free of noticeable stains or marks and is in overall very good condition with wear evident on the four corners.
