I love trains. My mom took me all the way across the country on the famous Super Chief during it's decling ridership (I was about 10) and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I was usually all alone in the observation car during that 3 day run and what a great run it was. This one reminds me of it but The Chief had a better paint job.

Quoted: You mean like this ......? http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m371/dennis1945080545/Railroad%20shots/SCAN0151-2.jpg .... or this? http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l215/krudisjo/Railroads/Atchison%20Topeka%20and%20Santa%20Fe%20Railway/SantaFe-AlongYourWayCover1945.jpg Yeah that second one is a painting of The Super Chief ...warbonnet and all, but you have been here long enough to know the rules for these posts. BTW, here is a very good description of what The Chief was all about back in the day. I rode it in 1970 right before Amtrak took it over and augered it straight into the ground. Why does government always seem to do that anyway? http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/node/1903281 |
