About this title

Synopsis

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company has come to be known as ‘the railway that built an empire’ - an empire that included nearly all of the southwestern United States from the Mississippi to the Pacific and from the Rockies to the Gulf of Mexico.
Chartered by ‘dreamer’ Cyrus K. Holliday in 1866, the Santa Fe established a standard of service by which all other western railroads were measured, and earned a reputation for excellence that endures to this day. The Santa Fe’s passenger service was legendary. From the 1911 Santa Fe Deluxe to the famous Super Chief, which was the preferred vehicle of Hollywood stars, the Santa Fe’s passenger trains - decorated with rosewood, mahogany and velvet plush - offered the utmost in speed, luxury, comfort and gourmet meals, while the Santa Fe’s concern for the farmers and ranchers who constituted much of its freight market never wavered, even during the Great Depression. Today’s Santa Fe railroad is one of the leading intermodal shippers in the United States.
In this book, the story of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe is beautifully presented in over 100 lavish photographs. This book is a must for those who love the old west and the great railroads of our nation.
