| The Super Chief 73 Mins #SRP-SC $39.95 The Whole Story The Whole Story of one of the world’s most famous Streamlined Trains: from birth to burial. The whole trip from Dearborn Station, Chicago to Union Terminal, Los Angeles with particular attention to the Great Bridges across The Mississippi and Missouri and the Great Passes: Raton, Glorieta and Cajon. Above Raton the Sangre de Cristo peaks sparkle in the breathtaking white of early winter against a diamond blue New Mexico sky. The Super Chief squeezes onto the sinuous single track hung in the slot canyon above Apache Creek as it squirms toward Glorieta Pass (as high and more spectacular than Raton, but rarely photographed). Inside and out: The Pleasure Dome with individual rotating parlor car chairs; the Turquoise Room for private dinner parties. Glimpses of the world’s largest fleet of Streamliners, and their varied configurations: The Regular Chief, The San Francisco Chief, The Texas Chief, The Kansas City Chief, The Grand Canyon, The El Capitan, Alco PAs on The San Diegans. Hi-Level Diners, Lounges, Chair Cars, and spectacular car length Big Domes. Color back |
