About this title

Synopsis

Cloth with dust jacket, 12x9" oversize horizontal format, 256 glossy pages. 2017. "Route of the Chiefs is THE photographic history of how the Santa Fe rose to being the foremost passenger carriers in the streamliner era. From the premiere Super Chief to the wide network of secondary trains, this new 256-page volume is next thing to being on board. If ever a railroad was a friend to the passenger, Santa Fe was it. From the 1892 version of the California Limited, to the Santa Fe De-Luxe, the 1926 Chief, 1937 Super Chief - no other railroad offered greater luxury to its first-class clientele. Later, with the inauguration of the 1938 El Capitan, the company's fast, modern accommodations came to coach travelers as well. Add to that the remaining Chiefs and streamliners, including the San Francisco Chief, Texas Chief, the Chief itself, Grand Canyon, Chicagoan, Kansas Cityan, San Diegan, Golden Gates, and a host of supporting cast players like The Cavern, El Pasoan, Tulsan and others - it's hard to conceive of any railroad that did it as well. About the Following Route of the Eagles (1995) and Route of the Rockets (1997), Route of the Chiefs is Greg Stout’s third title for White River Productions, and 21st overall. Retired from a career that included 28 years in the automotive industry and 12 years in public education, he now lives with his wife of 43 years in Cape Girardeau, Mo.
