SAN
FRANCISCO-RICHMOND TERMINALS.
Santa
Fe passenger trains, westbound, operate into Richmond Station, thence
by motor coach to the Santa Fe Passenger Terminal (44 Fourth Street,
just off Market) San Francisco. Eastbound, service is via motor coach
San Francisco to Richmond, thence train. Stop is made at Berkeley
Station (University Ave. and West St.) and Oakland (2040 Telegraph
Avenue) both westbound and eastbound.
By this time passenger train service across the United States was in an accelerated free-fall. Santa Fe was one of the few railroads who attempted to buck the trend. As you can see from this timetable, even as late as 1965 it was still possible to ride a through coach or Pullman from Houston or Dallas to California or make connections along the route for Lubbock, Phoenix or Carlsbad Caverns.
