Walthers Santa Fe 1944 The Chief

Steam trains will always motivate people enjoy the glory days of travel. Can you image sitting somewhere in Chicago around the early 1930s to the 1940s and see this beauty pull mixed of streamline and heavyweight passenger cars. Today with the latest of Broadway Limited Imports and Walthers passenger cars we finally after so many year bring you a name train before it became super. Enjoy the origin story of the mighty Blue Goose pulling the Chief from the Chi to the city of bright lights!

Took me a minute to get the passenger cars together but I was building another train while getting this one together. Please enjoy the video. I will be making one more Super Chief video for a fellow member we lost last year. 😢
