ATSF No. 16
Posted by jkubajakiii on Saturday, February 27, 2010 3:42 PM

 I have a clock that chimes different locomotives every hour. At 3 O'clock it a Santa Fe F-3 Red Warbonnet. The thing that puzzles me is the announcement: "Train 16, You're clear outbound." I know the Super Chief is No. 18 Chicagobound, so I assuming No. 16 is too. But what is it?

Santa Fe train 16 was the Texas Chief bound for Chicago.

 Thanks for your help. Although I am rather disappointed that its not the San Franscisco Chief.
