Letterhead Refbk Consr NEW FROM WALTHERS EMBARGO UNTIL 12:00 PM CST JUNE 11, 2013 Santa Fe’s San Francisco Chief Joins Walthers Name Train Fleet June 11, 2013, Milwaukee, WI. - Beginning in October, Walthers will roll out its latest HO Scale name train, the San Francisco Chief . Based on Santa Fe’s last new streamliner introduced in 1954, the complete train features seven all-new cars (including the signature “Big Domes” several sleepers, a 74' baggage car and lunch counter diner dormitory), correct Santa Fe coaches and sleepers, plus a limited-run of 37-Class passenger F units with new details, all part of the superbly detailed WalthersProto ® family of products. Cars will feature Walthers exclusive real metal finish simulating stainless steel as appropriate, which matches current Super Chief and El Capitan cars, opening new possibilities for modeling authentic Santa Fe passenger consists. For the most demanding modeler and collector, a limited-run 12-car Deluxe Edition train with factory-installed LED interior lighting and 200+ Preiser figures will also be available at participating hobby shops and walthers.com. Fast Facts: From its introduction, the San Francisco Chief was one of Santa Fe’s most popular trains. Offering direct service from Chicago to the city by the bay — in this case Oakland and later Richmond, where passengers boarded buses for downtown San Francisco — the train also provided convenient service to intermediate stops along 2500+-miles of the road’s southern main line. With affordable coach and sleeping car accommodations, a choice of casual or fine dining, and a superb view from its “Big Dome” dormitory-lounge cars, the San Francisco Chief was a favorite with business and vacation travelers alike. Its fast schedule (47-1/2 hours) made it a perfect choice for the Post Office as well, and considerable volumes of mail were handled year around. In 1964, additional High-Level coaches arrived from Budd to provide additional seats for the popular train, which would remain in service until 1971. Several of the train’s cars went on to serve Amtrak and many have since been preserved.

  • Union Depot Tower Interlocking Plant
    Union Depot Tower Union Depot Tower (U.D. Tower) was completed in 1914 as part of a municipal project to improve rail transportation through Joliet, which included track elevation of all four railroad lines that went through downtown Joliet and the construction of a new passenger station to consolidate the four existing passenger stations into one. A result of this overall project was the above-grade intersection of 4 north-south lines with 4 east-west lines. The crossing of these rail lines required sixteen track diamonds. A diamond is a fixed intersection between two tracks. The purpose of UD Tower was to ensure and coordinate the safe and timely movement of trains through this critical intersection of east-west and north-south rail travel. UD Tower housed the mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection, also known as an interlocking plant. Interlocking Plant Interlocking plants consisted of the signaling appliances and tracks at the intersections of major rail lines that required a method of control to prevent collisions and provide for the efficient movement of trains. Most interlocking plants had elevated structures that housed mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection. Union Depot Tower is such an elevated structure. Source: Museum of the American Railroad Frisco Texas CSX Train 1513 moves east through the interlocking. July 25, 1997. Photo courtesy of Tim Frey Ownership of Union Depot Tower Upon the completion of Union Depot Tower in 1914, U.D. Tower was owned and operated by the four rail companies with lines that came through downtown Joliet.

And not many have had the impact on the growth of a nation CONTENTS that BNSF Railway and its predecessors had. Celebrating Our Heritage, Shaping Our Future 2 Celebrating our heritage and building on our success is one of BNSF’s shared values.
