In 1951 the Super Chief had been completely re-equipped, featuring the new "Pleasure Dome" lounge cars with the private "Turquoise Room" for small dinner parties. By 1956, the Super offered through sleeping cars to the east on no less than three railroads: the Pennsylvania and New York Central to New York City, and the B. & O. to Washington, DC. Notice that this train has added stops, yet still has shaved fifteen minutes off its already hot pre-war schedule.
