Car History
Our four drawing-room, one bedroom
sleeper-lounge provides all the comforts of home.
Each drawing room has three beds:
two lower bunks and
one upper bunk, and each also has an enclosed annex with toilet and sink.
The bedroom has an upper and lower
bunk and includes a toilet and sink.
The lounge end of the car is fully
enclosed with windows all around giving you the luxury
of enjoying the view
in all weather conditions.
A shower off the hallway and a
galley complete the amenities.
The Vista Valley was
ordered by the Santa Fe for an upgrade of their fleet for the Super Chief in
1947.
She ran as the tail
car with a rounded end until the Santa Fe squared off the end and ran her
as a
first class sleeper-lounge in the San Francisco Chiefuntil she was retired in
1971.
Subsequently sold into
private ownership, the Vista Valley's interior remained complete
and
virtually exactly as it had been when it was run by the Santa Fe.
Brought up to Amtrak's
mechanical and safety standards by Trans-Texas Rail,
the car
has had a shower and a galley added.
She has carried many a
movie star and Potentate in her day.
Now she's back on the
tracks and ready to carry your friends and family
on the
greatest travel vacation you've ever had!
