I was interested in shots of those interiors as well. There are a couple of photos of the interiors of Fox River and Colorado River on RRPictureArchives, if you have patience to wait on their server:IMHO the photo of Colorado River's interior is most interesting. It looks like the floor is still several feet below the bottom of the window. It seems difficult to squeeze a lower level between the upper level floor and the carbody floor. |

Up until the early 1950's traditional equipment was used: coaches, lunch counter-diner, coach-observation, etc. In 1953-54, 14 "Big Dome" coach-lounge cars were purchased by the Sante Fe. The Big Domes remained part of the El Cap for two years. In 1956 the train was re-equipped with 47 Hi-Level cars. In 1964, 68 more Hi-Level cars were purchased. |
