Mixed trains were aptly named. The cargo was a mixture of passengers and miscellaneous freight that was hauled by equipment of varied, and sometimes uncertain, parentage along a route that often went from nowhere to oblivion. The book begins with the early days of the Santa Fe which provides an excellent framework to discuss the early passenger equipment of the railroad. Also this allows the reader to trace the further use of the disposition of cars originally assigned to first-class service and to look at the Santa Fe away from the popular heavily-trafficked main lines. Equipment rosters, timetables, schedule evolution, passenger car diagrams and many pictures are included. This classic book on the Santa Fe Railway is a follow-up to the book 'The Doodlebugs' published in 1977. This book is out-of-print and Golden Spike has purchased the remaining Kachina Press inventory.
