There hasn't been a direct LA-SF connection since the days of the
"Lark" and
"Daylight" way back in the 50's-60's(?)....But now everything requires
a connection across from the East Bay.

You can also take the San Joaquin (requires a bus connection
LA-Bakersfield)
or Pacific Surfliner (requires a connection SLO-San Jose/San
Francisco...)
