Date: 10/08/15 18:34 Re: Santa Fe's train #2, the San Francisco Chief - 1968 Author: The_Chief_Way According to Fred Frailey's book on Santa Fe consists, Trains 1 and 2 "traded" Big Domes
in October 1968 with trains 15 and 16. Prior to the trade, the San Fransico Chief used the 550 series of Big Domes that had dormitory space in the lower level area with a small cocktail lounge, so at the time of the photo that's how the dining car personnel were berthed. After the "trade," a baggage-dorm was used with the Big Dome lounges. Date: 10/08/15 20:14 Re: Santa Fe's train #2, the San Francisco Chief - 1968 Author: TexasChief Thanks so much for sharing. That had to be tight quarters
