Homage to the Santa Fe: Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway

by Merle Armitage

First published in 1973 following the 1971 Amtrak takeover of America's passenger train service, this book pays tribute to the special nature of Santa Fe's passenger service. Includes 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. Illustrated with black and white photos (including ones of all of Santa Fe's Presidents). This book captures the unique persona of the Santa Fe and even uses the same design style as the railroad. 141 pages.
