San Francisco Chief
Posted by Dome Rider on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 11:04 PM

Departed Amarillo, Texas upon discharge from the Air Force Feb. 5, 1961 on the westbound Santa Fe San Francisco Chief. Anybody know what engine/s that train would have had? E's, F's Or PA's.

Based on what I've read over the years, the "San Francisco Chief" was usually pulled by PA's.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
