The 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 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 (more spectacular than Raton, but rarely photographed).

Feel the suction of air as the train roars past on the prairie. See inside the luxury consist, and glimpse the rest of the Santa Fe’s streamlined fleet in action, including the San Francisco Chief, The Texas Chief, The Grand Canyon, The El Capitan, and Alco PAs leading The San Diegan along the Pacific surf.

    Originally released on VHS only in 1996, this more than an hour program takes a behind the scenes look at one of the most iconic Streamliners from Chicago to Los Angeles with scenes onboard the coaches, getting the entire consist maintained, & even plenty of trackside action with the Iconic F-3s & other diesels painted in the Red & silver livery known far & wide to railfans as the Warbonet scheme.

    What can you say about one of the most beautiful locomotives of all time, the Santa Fe Super Chief. With the famous War Bonnet paint scheme it is one of the most recognized engines on the rails. This beautifully produced video details the Super Chief with excellent photography and narration throughout. A fantastic buy.
