Author Name: Robert E. Pounds
Title: Santa Fe Depots - The Western Lines
Seller ID: KAC101
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 Pounds 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. This book is out-of-print and Golden Spike has purchased the remaining Kachina Press inventory.
