Description

Following up on the Santa Fe theme, here's the world-famous Santa Fe "El Capitan" passenger train. It is seen passing out of Chicago Union Station. An interesting note is that the train is extra long (what appears to be 20 cars vs the normal 11-12) and is led by a F7 A-A-A-B consist with #31 in the lead.

This looks more like an A-B-A-B-B set. There's no point in having three A's, when you can have more B's. Save money, and use less engineers.
