Dining Car on the San Francisco Chief - 1969

My first big Western vacation was in April, 1969, my first month out of the army. I took train rides in a big circle around the West, starting with the Santa Fe San Francisco Chief from Chicago to the Williams Jucnction, Arizona, gateway to the Grand Canyon. The Safta Fe Railroad was famous for its Fred Harvey dining car service, which was predated by station hotels run by Fred Harvey, who was renowned for the quality of his meal service.

This is the San Francisco Chief's dining car at lunchtime on Easter Sunday, April 6, 1969. Sadly, this train was one of those discontinued on May 1, 1971 with the advent of Amtrak's takeover of passenger service.
