The Super Chief: The Whole Story.
From Dearborn Station, Chicago to Union Terminal, Los Angeles, with particular attention to the great bridges and the great mountain passes: Raton, Glorieta and Cajon. Above Raton Pass the Sangre de Cristo peaks sparkle in the white of early winter. The Super Chief squeezes onto the single track hung in the slot canyon above Apache Creek as it pushes toward rarely photographed Glorieta Pass. The train roars across the prairie. See inside the luxury consist, and glimpse the rest of the Santa Fe's streamlined fleet in action, including the San Francisco Chief, The Texas Chief, The Grand Canyon, The El Capitan, and Alco PAs leading The San Diegan along the Pacific surf. 64 minutes
City of Los Angeles.
Start in Los Angeles under crystalline skies, then track "the City" from the ground as it ascends Cajon Pass with 5 roaring E units and traverses the Wasatch Range in Utah. The streamliner clings to the canyon wall above the boiling Weber River. Speeds accelerate to 75 mph. Just beyond Echo, with a sharp left around a 2000 foot cliff, the train starts to climb to the Aspen Tunnel, some 3000 feet above Ogden, UT. “The City” careens across the wilderness from Green River to Laramie. Under the black rolls of a coming storm it climbs Sherman Hill on the old line and continues down to Cheyenne, with many shots from the cab. The finale is a bonus steam run on Sherman Hill. This was to have been the final run of UP's 8444 in 1970, driving into one of the worst blizzards ever experienced on Sherman Hill. 42 minutes
“The Super Chief DVD has great footage, wonderful history, and the right touch of nostalgia. A touch of class that’s hard to find on today’s busy railroads. Growing up in Chicago, I can remember seeing the Warbonnet paint since I could read my first Lionel catalog.”
