Santa Fe Depots: The Western Lines Robert E. Pounds
Kachina Press 1984 0930724089 / 9780930724085 NEW CONDITION BOOK
Santa Fe Depots: The Western Lines
A route-by-route and station-by-station look at the depots of the Western Lines of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway.
Railroad depots-those old temples to American restlessness-were once a center of both economic and social life in the community. A necessary stop for both shipper and consignee and the quick source in the early years for news from an external world, depots were the nexus of contact between towns and a railroad system that originally brought together the parts of this nation into the whole.
Robert Pound's book is a pleasing event. He has selected a single railroad-the Santa Fe-and has approached the topic station-by-station along each main and branch line and has developed the story of depot construction and evolution at each location. The territory this book covers includes the western parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, as well as the states of Colorado and New Mexico, the Western Lines constitutes the center of the vast Santa Fe System.
