Well-written history of two of the Santa Fe's early ventures into the Arizona Territory: the Bradshaw Mountain Railroad and the Prescott and Eastern Railroad.

This book provides a detailed, station-by-station (or siding) survey of the lines, their operations and current status. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and maps. With timetables, bibliography and index. 151 pages.
