While the Southern Pacific held the dominant position for rail traffic between most of the West Coast markets, between San Diego and Los Angeles it was the Santa Fe which held a virtual monopoly [and an actual monopoly after the San Diego section of the Imperial was cancelled in early 1951]. The Santa Fe serviced its captive market with the fast and frequent streamlined service shown here—the San Diegans.
