HOMAGE TO THE SANTA FE

In May 1971, The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, also known as Amtrak, assumed operation of America's passenger train service; ending an era of a once romantic and heralded mode of transportation. This publication is a look back at the prestigious passenger train operation of the Santa Fe Railroad.

Over 125 black & white photographs and illustrations accompany sections on steam and diesel motive power, streamliners and rolling stock, as well as information on company executives, advertising and Southwest Indian crafts and related lore. Very interesting and crammed full with tidbits of railroadiana.
