[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by royaltrain: [qb] [QUOTE]In the early 1950's I rode both the Golden State Limited and the Imperial between L.A. and Phoenix. I seem to recall the the Imperial (then hauled by steam) dipped down into Mexico and then back into California. I was very young at the time so have only fleeting memories. [/qb][/QUOTE]If you had gone east out of San Diego, you would have dipped down into Mexico, but you would not have gotten any closer to Mexico than Yuma AZ on the route out of Los Angeles. The train east out of San Diego ran on the old SD&AE which was an SP subsidiary. The Mexican portion was called the Tijuana and Tecate. 37 miles were in Mexico. My mother-in-law talked about being on that train once during WW2 on the first part of her way back home - with three small kids - after my father-in-law's ship left port, 2 nights, 2 days and the first part of a third night in total to get home.
