== History ==
The ''Southwest Chief'' is the successor to the ''Super Chief'', which, along with the ''Chief'' and ''El Capitan'', were notable Chicago-Los Angeles trains operated by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The ''Super Chief'' name was retained after Amtrak took over passenger rail service in 1971. Then in March 1974, the Santa Fe forced Amtrak to drop the name because of a perceived decline in quality after the Amtrak takeover. The train was renamed the ''Southwest Limited''. After subsequent improvements, the Santa Fe allowed Amtrak to change its name to the ''Southwest Chief'' on October 28, 1984.
