Running a little late, E6A 15 speeds number 12, the Chicagoan, along the High Line between Holliday Junction and Kansas City on an October afternoon in 1965. The Dallas-Chicago train -- mostly head-end cars, a few chair cars, a single sleeper and a lunch counter car -- always seems to draws Santa Fe’s oldest passenger power. The 15 emerged from EMC in the months before Pearl Harbor, 1941, and soldiered through World War II and Korea. In three years, the engine will be dropped from Santa Fe’s roster and train 12 will vanish from its timetables.
