About The San Diegan was one of the named passenger trains of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, and a “workhorse” of the railroad. Its 126-mile (203-kilometer) route ran from Los Angeles, California, south to San Diego. It was assigned train Nos. 70–79 (Nos. 80–83 were added in 1952 when RDCs began operating on the line). The Los Angeles-San Diego corridor was to the Santa Fe what the New York City–Philadelphia corridor was to the Pennsylvania Railroad. Daily traffic could reach a density of ten trains (each way) during the summer months. From the Los Angeles/Orange County border to San Diego, it ran along the Surf Line (officially, the Fourth District of the Los Angeles Division), which was so named because much of its trackage came within fewer than 100 feet of the Pacific Ocean. I don't know if freight ran on this line (I imagine that it did).

The Santa Fe F7s are in dire need of passenger cars to pull. With the engines running on Cajon Pass, the Super Chief or El Capitan would be perfect. As for the San Diegan train, I love the look of those ATSF FM Erie-Builts. The Santa Fe RR only rostered a trio of them in an A-B-A configuration. The line from LA to San Diego is now part of the Pacific Surfliner (which is also a much-needed route in TSW5.
its in tsc and matt said on the preview for the f59 he wouldnt do it unless he could get branding for all the railroads that run along the line
