Are there any preserved Super Chiefs?

If by 'Super Chief', you mean the classic F7A locomotives painted in the red-and-silver warbonnet livery, then an A-B (#347?)set has been preserved at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. In terms of other types of cab units painted into red-and-silver, then there are several of the 90-class FP45 preserved in museums. These locomotives powered the Super Chief trains between 1968 and 1971, when the operation was taken over by Amtrak.
Several of the passenger cars from the Super Chief have been preserved by either other operators or museums.
