The Santa Fe had reallly nice (probably the newest of any U.S. Railroad) equipment and fine service. In 1970 I rode Train Number 1, the San Francisco Chief, from Kansas City, MO to Richmond, CA. When the train made its stop in Winslow, AZ, a man with his family got on who was headed for San Francisco. I sat near him and got into conversation with him. He said that he was a Santa Fe locomotive engineer in Winslow and that if I ever came to Winslow, that I should look him up and that he would give me a cab ride on his division! That evenng, he invited me to sit with his family for dinner in the dining car and then insisted on buying my dinner! The next morning, he insisted on buying me breakfast in the dining car! Experiences like this tent to make a person love certain railroads and their employees.
