Tracklayer I hate to rain on your parade, but the Super Chief was diesel hauled from its inception. Although it was initially heavyweight, the lightweight consist and E1 A-B units were delivered in 1937. The Chief (initiated in 1926) , however, was steam hauled well into the 1940's and did carry some heavyweight cars. However, it was at least partially streamlined in 1938. Andre
