Late era engines had their distinguishing chicken wire grills replaced by the stainless steel grills that EMD were fitting on their newer F7 productions. The EMD F3’s ended up looking very similar to the F7 ‘s that were built later, but they still kept their early style roof fans.

The Santa Fe Super Chief was often called The Train of the Stars, and was frequently used by the Hollywood stars because of its excellent accommodation, fine dining and of course the fast 39 hr 45 min trip between Chicago and Los Angeles going through the rich scenery of the American Southwest.
