This is the second Volume, in a series of three, featuring a pictorial history of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. Now that the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe have merged, to form one railroad, there is increased interest in the story of the Santa Fe Railway. This book presents the Santa Fe's system-wide operations of its passenger and freight services. Also featured is an account of Frederick Henry Harvey's handling of Santa Fe's hotels, eating houses, and dining cars. For over a century the Santa Fe operated many first-class transcontinental passenger trains between Chicago, the Pacific Coast, and Texas cities. The history of each train is told, along with the all-coach streamliner El Capitan, and other trains such as the Scout, El Tovar, and Grand Canyon Limited. Freight, the life's blood of the railroad, is brought up to date. Retail $ 59.95.
