Chicagoan and Kansas Cityan

The Chicagoan and Kansas Cityan were a pair of American named passenger trains operated by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. They ran between Chicago, Illinois and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The trains were introduced as a Chicago–Wichita service in 1938 and extended to Oklahoma City the next year. A Kansas City–Tulsa connecting train, the Tulsan, was also introduced at that time. The Chicagoan and Kansas Cityan ran until 1968, while the Tulsan ran until 1971.

History
In January 1938, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (Santa Fe) announced plans to introduce a pair of Chicago–Kansas City streamliners – aptly named the Chicagoan and Kansas Cityan – around April 1 of that year. This was part of a substantial streamlining effort that year by the railroad, which also included a second pair of Super Chief trainsets, six sets for the Chief, two sets for the El Capitan, and one set for the San Diegan. The seven-car lightweight trains were to run on 7-hour schedules. In early April, the Santa Fe announced that the route would be extended from Kansas City to Wichita. Service of the Kansas Cityan and Chicagoan, trains 11 and 12, began on April 17, 1938. The trains operated the route in hours on a daytime schedule. ==Notes==
