Depart 1719 - Arrive 1442 (plus two days)

This Wild West train adventure follows the Santa Fe Trail in true western spirit from Chicago passing through Kansas City, Dodge City, Comanche country and Apache Canyon on the way to Albuquerque.

Carving through curving canyon passages only a few feet wider than the train itself, you'll see spectacular landscapes and pristine vistas not visible from interstate highways. This 41 Hour, 2 night journey crosses 2 time zones & passes through Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.

The Santa Fe Trail was first traversed by Indians who discovered the twists, turns & passes. Later, Spanish Conquistadors and fur trappers became familiar with the route. By the time it was called the Santa Fe Trail, caravans of pack mules, wagon teams, prairie schooners and stagecoaches were lumbering over it daily, carting goods and people between the Missouri River and the Pacific Coast. This route was instrumental in ending the Mexican–American Civil war and incorporating the territories of New Mexico and California into the United States of America. The Amtrak Southwest Chief Route owes its name to the original great Santa Fe iron horse, the Super Chief.
