Super Chief in N scale
By Buzz Lenander

Rail travel takes passengers past all sorts of scenery, from golden wheat fields to towering skyscrapers. Here we see the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe's Super Chief, with a quartet of F7s on the point, heading west out of Kansas City past an oil refinery. Buzz Lenander of Albuquerque, N. M., took the photo on his NTrak module.
