As a tribute to America's favorite railroad-the Santa Fe, this book discusses everything from its origins, to locomotives, freight operations, passenger operations, and more. The Santa Fe Railway's charisma and mystique has long made it one of America's compelling railways. From Chicago to LA it blends a nation's westward vision with all the best elements of railroading: colorful passenger trains, attractive stations, fascinating historical personalities, a diverse and eclectic collection of locomotives, and of course - lots of long freight trains. All of these aspects of the Santa Fe and more are featured in this compact but colorful history packed with great archival color photography.
