I don't have any reference book dedicated solely to the Santa Fe. So I don't have an answer to my own question. Therefore, some of you big Santa Fe fans will have to jump in and answer this one. The E units were the tried and accepted passenger units of their time while the F units were the standard for freight trains. So why did Santa Fe use passenger-geared F units for the Super Chief and other passenger trains? The only answer I can think of would be the additional rail wear from the third axle. F units were susposed to be rough riding units where as the E units were reported to give a smooth ride. How did Santa Fe choose F over E units?
