Another timetable in the Union Pacific 1957 Summer Tours series, the City of San Francisco was the "homeward bound" train for both of the California tours: The "BC" bargain tour vacationers in coach and the deluxe "C" tour group in sleepers. While not stated explicitly, it seems likely that the sleeper equipment followed along with the deluxe tour group during the entirety of their two-week trip; if you read the fine print in the back of the brochure you will see that lightweight streamlined sleeping equipment is not guaranteed but that "carefully selected" extra equipment might be obtained from the Pullman Company's reserve fleet of mostly heavyweight cars.
