Amtrak #3-4/ The Southwest Chief - Early July 1993 by evangaines on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

On the evening of July 6, 1993, we're on ATSF's Transcon outside of Seligman AZ to chase trains, while on our way to Chicago IL for that year's NRHS Convention. Soon, we caught Amtrak Train #3, the Westbound Southwest Chief, from Chicago IL to Los Angeles CA. The train was running over 5 hours & 13 minutes behind schedule & was making up for lost time behind a P32-8BWH or Pepsi-Can & an F40PH, as it heads for Hollywood. Bringing up the rear is ATSF Theater Car #89, William Barstow Strong, which was on it's way to meet up with the rest of Santa Fe's Business Car Fleet in LA for the trip down the Valley Subdivision to Stockton. The train would arrive in LA, the following afternoon.
