Informationen zum Vorbild
„Der Zug der Stars“ – Der Super Chief.
Als die Union Pacific Railroad (UP) 1936 ihren neuen
„Streamliner“-Zug „City of Los Angeles“ (Chicago – Los
Angeles) ins Leben rief, konterte die Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway (Santa Fe) schon am 12. Mai 1936 mit
einem eigenen Luxuszug, dem „Super Chief“. Dieser aller-
erste „Super Chief“ bestand zunächst noch aus schweren
Pullman-Wagen, denn die neuen stromlinienförmigen
Edelstahl-Leichtbauwagen befanden sich bei der Budd Com-
pany noch im Bau. Gleichzeitig sollte der neue Superzug von
ebenfalls stromlinienförmig gestalteten neuen Dieselloks
gezogen werden. Im Mai 1937 war es schließlich soweit:
Budd präsentierte einen „Streamliner“-Zug als Pullman-
Schlafwagenzug, konkurrenzlos in Stil, Design und Luxus.
Der bekannte Designer Sterling McDonald brachte bei der
Inneneinrichtung die langjährige Beziehung zwischen der
Bahn und den Indianern des Südwestens zum Ausdruck.
Wann immer möglich verwendete McDonald authen-
tische Indianerfarben wie Türkis und Kupfer, Muster und
sogar authentische Wandmalereien und Gemälde. Ferner
integrierte er als Zierde eine Kombination aus seltenen und
exotischen Hölzern wie Ebenholz, Teak, Satinholz, Bubinga
und Makassar, welche dem Super Chief einen zusätzlichen
Hauch extravaganter Eleganz gaben.
Schnell entwickelte sich der zuschlagspflichtige Super
Chief zu einem überaus exklusiven und superkomfortablen
Pendlerzug für Hollywood-Größen, die zwischen dem New
Yorker Broadway und dem Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles
pendelten und sich bis/ab Chicago im luxuriösen Prestige-
zug der Santa Fe verwöhnen ließen.
Information about the prototype
„The Train of the Stars“ – The Super Chief.
When the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) introduced its new
„streamliner train“, the „City of Los Angeles“ in 1936
(Chicago – Los Angeles), the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway (Santa Fe) countered with its own deluxe train,
the „Super Chief“, as early as May 12, 1936. This very
first „Super Chief“ initially still consisted of heavyweight
Pullman cars, because the new streamline stainless steel
lightweight cars were still under construction at the Budd
Company. This new super train was to be pulled at the
same time by new diesel locomotives, also with streamlined
styling. In May of 1937 it was finally done: Budd presented
a „streamliner“ train as an all-Pullman sleeping car train,
without competition in style, design, and luxury. The famous
designed Sterling McDonald found expression in the interior
details the longstanding relation between the railroad and
the Indians of the Southwest. Whenever possible McDonald
made use of authentic Indian colors such as turquois
and copper, samples and even authentic wall murals and
paintings. In addition, he integrated as decorative elements
a combination of rare and exotic woods such as ebony, teak,
satinwood, bubinga, and Macassar, which gave the Super
Chief an additional air of extravagant elegance.
The extra fare Super Chief quickly developed into an extre-
mely exclusive and super comfortable shuttle train for Hol-
lywood Greats, who commuted from New York‘s Broadway
to Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and who let themselves
be pampered to and from Chicago in the luxurious prestige
train of the Santa Fe.
