The Flying Scotsman, the famed London to Edinburgh steam locomotive, started regular passenger runs on the San Francisco waterfront. Built in the 1920s, it carried its full 92-passenger capacity across six trips aboard a green red and black train including a British Railways coach named Lydia and a 1919 observation car.
