The Navajo was one of the named passenger trains of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The economy train entered daily service between Chicago-Los Angeles-San Francisco as train Nos. 9 & 10 on October 1, 1915, as a replacement for the railroad's Tourist Flyer, and operated until January 14, 1940.
The Navajo name has also been applied to one of the Santa Fe's sleeper-lounge-observation cars built by the Budd Company in 1937 for use on the Super Chief. The car is currently on display at the Colorado Railroad Museum.
