Thanks for this. For any who may not know, the Santa Fe was one of the major operators of long distance trains. Not just the Super Chief, but also El Capitan(This is where we get our older hi-level cars) the Chief and the Grand Canyon, all CHI to LA.
There was also the San Francisco Chief(it later got some hi-level coaches , also) to SF; the Texas Chief to Texas points,, The Tulsan; trains from Chicago to Kansas City..the San Diegans, lots of beautiful, beautiful shining stainless steel streamliners all over the place. Not to mention their red and yellow locomotives.
It was one of the best passenger-operating railroads in the country at one time.
There were a number of transcontinental sleeper operations in the country then. THe premier operation, bar none, was the through NY-LA cars exchanged between the 20th Century Limited and the Super Chief in Chicago.
It is sad to read that the Southwest Chief is not, apparently, one of our better patronized trains today. It is unreal all the beautiful history which stems from that line.
But again, Superliner Diner, thanks for providing us this with link. No doubt I will refer back to it several more times today.
