Description: With the introduction of the Chief in 1926 and its dieselized successor, the Super Chief, in 1935, the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe cemented its legendary place in rail history with two legendary trains. Decorated in the now-famed red and silver "warbonnet" livery, the Chief and Super Chief gave passengers everything they were looking for--quick trips out to the West and back, and premiere accommodations and service.
