Chief (train)
The ''Chief'' was one of the named passenger trains of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Its route ran from Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles, California. The ''Chief'' was inaugurated as an all-Pullman limited train to supplement the road's ''California Limited'', with a surcharge of USD $10.00 for an end-to-end trip. The heavyweight began its first run from both ends of the line, simultaneously, on November 14, 1926, scheduled 63 hours each way between Chicago and Los Angeles, five hours faster than the California Limited. (The Overland Limited, Los Angeles Limited and Golden State Limited began their extra-fare 63-hour schedules between Chicago and California the same day.)
The ''Chief'' was a success, dubbed "Extra Fast-Extra Fine-Extra Fare" though it failed to relieve traffic on the ''California Limited''. The ''Chief'' became famous as a "rolling boudoir" for film stars and Hollywood executives. In 1954 the ''Chief'' reduced its schedule to equal its cousins, the ''Super Chief'' and ''El Capitan,'' and would ultimately drop the extra fare requirement as well.
The ''Chief'' would have been the "crown jewel" of most railroads' passenger fleets. But it did not survive the national decline in passenger demand and its last run was on May 15, 1968.
