The Super Chief/El Capitan, Chicago, 1971         
It is March, 1971. Santa Fe Fairbanks Morse H-1244T number 542, one of three sisters built by the Beloit-based locomotive manufacturer in 1956 to move passenger equipment in Santa Fes Chicago yards, backs the combined Super Chief/El Capitan streamliner into Chicago Union Station. 542 wears Santa Fes "Billboard" yellow and blue paint scheme used for freight locomotives. The F7 A-B-B-A units behind wear Santa Fes classic "Warbonnet" paint scheme used on passenger locomotives. 542 was scrapped in 1974 but sister 543 survives at the Illinois Railroad Museum.
