Description
Following up on the Santa Fe theme, here's the world-famous Santa Fe "El Capitan" passenger train. It is seen passing out of Chicago Union Station. An interesting note is that the train is extra long (what appears to be 20 cars vs the normal 11-12) and is led by a F7 A-A-A-B consist with #31 in the lead.Related content

Hmm... is that Union Station? Because, unless I'm mistaken, wasn't the Santa Fe's eastern terminal Dearborn Street Station in Chicago instead of Union?

I might be seeing things, but that consist looks like an A-A-A-B-A set. That seems more natural for a 20 car passenger train.

That's the real beauty of the Warbonnet Scheme. It is so linked to American railroads that it is impossible to get rid of.
