Softcover. Condition: New. This little title has quite a bit of data in it. It shows how departments in a division were organized, shows color maps of divisions over time until the final consolidation of divisions into regions. Branch lines assigned to each division are also included. Pictures of each division office (often a de…pot with an upper floor) and huge grand division office buildings (high-rise) are shown. One of the most confusing aspects of Santa Fe Railway history has been what division a particular location or line belonged to at any point in time. At various times La Junta, Colorado, belonged to the Western, Arkansas River, Colorado, Panhandle, or Kansas Division as well as the Eastern Region. This monograph tells the story of the changes in the Santa Fes organization throughout its history. It looks at the Santa Fes organization by giving a snapshot of what was in existence at particular points in time and discusses the changes in between. For each snapshot there is a John Signor-drawn map in color visually showing the Santa Fes organization at that time. Santa Fe Railway Historical and Modeling Society, 56 pages, 12 maps, 28 photographs, 4 page addendum.

Softcover. Condition: New. The Santa Fe and Grain Story tells the history of the Santas role in the transportation of grains and grain products over the last century. Wheat was the most important grain to the railroad, which had extensive lines throughout the Midwest, including the major wheat- producing states of Kansas, Oklaho…ma, and Texas. Eastern Kansas, Missouri and Illinois added corn-growing territory to the story, and eastern Texas featured rice. Other important grains were barley, oats and grain sorghums, all of which are discussed to some extent. , The farm economy for the entire life of the Santa Fe followed a boom-and-bust cycle. There were prosperous years when the railroad carried large amounts of grain where grain traffic was light. This made it difficult for the Santa Fe to plan for efficient use of cars and to project revenues. The Santa Fe entered the trade by carrying grain in 25-ton capacity boxcars traveling relatively short distances. Over the next 125 years, grain cars increased in type and capacity ?????é,?&euro,?é,?? first to 50-ton boxcars, then to covered hopper cars (initially with 70-ton capacity), to todays cars with a capacity of over 140 tons. As the type and capacity of cars was changing, there were also more grain cars per train traveling longer average distances so that by the end of the period, grain was moving long distances in solid unit trains. This book is the first in a series to be produced by the Santa Fe Railway Historical and Modeling Society discussing the Santa Fes involvement with important commodities shipped on its lines.

Softcover. Condition: New. Lee Berglund was a prolific photographer from Larned, Kansas, who documented the Santa Fe on the Great Plains encompassing Kansas, eastern Colorado - as far west as Trinidad and Denver - western Oklahoma, and northwest Texas as far south as Slaton. We see, through Lees lens, the history of the Santa Fe…s last 30 years in this territory at the heart of the Santa Fe. During Lees active years - 1964 to 1995 - the railroad experienced great changes. In 1964 Santa Fes famous passenger service was in its final years, the all-purpose boxcar dominated freight trains, First-Generation diesel locomotives - although downgraded to secondary service - could still be seen and second-generation units were new and pulled the highest priority trains. The familiar way car was in regular use. The small town depot was very much in evidence and a dense web of branch lines characterized the Santa Fe on the Great Plains. Over the next 30 years, all this would change, successive generations of motive power would invade the area, the way car would fade into history, many branch lines would be abandoned or sold to short line operators, agencies were closed as Santa Fe centralized freight offices and so went the depots. Through Lees lens, we see all these changes, beginning with Lees home turf, the Great Bend District, followed by a look at Santa Fe branch line railroading, Great Plains style. And in the final four chapters we focus primarily on Santa Fes mainlines on the Great Plains. All in all, Lee Berglund, through his photographic efforts in the Great Plains, has contributed much to the canon of the Santa Fe. This Volume is a tribute to Lee and his work. Santa Fe Railway H&MS, softcover, 152 pages, 12 x 8.5 x .5 in., 276 Color photographs, full color map and timetable reproductions.

Timetable reproductions also are included. The branch lines are not left out. Also structures still standing are included. This is a very good work on this part of the Santa Fe Railway. As is usual, the territory of the New Mexico Division changed over time. This volume covers the history of the territory of the New Mexico Division from 1877 to 1995 as it was constituted in 1942. At this time, the division had a main line with associated branches that ran from La Junta, Colorado, to El Paso, Texas. The Division was unique in that passenger traffic was five times greater than freight traffic through most of its history. Almost all of the Santa Fes famous passenger trains traversed the division at one time or another. Coal and copper, zinc, and iron ore constituted the bulk of online freight traffic throughout the history of the division. The division was one of the more scenic stretches of railroad on the Santa Fes system and attracted photographers such as Otto Perry, Richard Kindig, Preston George, Stan Kistler, Steve Patterson and Joe McMillan, all of whom provided photographs for the book.

Hardcover. Condition: New. This book continues the work of the late Robert E. Pounds and William W. Childers in documenting Santa Fe Railway depots. It contains a route-by-route and station-by station look at the depots of the Eastern Lines Grand Division of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway system, using a format develo…ped by John McCall for the listing of stations and the arrangement of accompanying data, that has been used in four previous books on Santa Fe depots. The Eastern Lines of the Santa Fe covered by this book ran from Chicago on the east end to Boise City, Oklahoma on the far west. Lines also ran from Ottawa, Kansas to Tulsa, Oklahoma, from Superior, Nebraska through Wichita to Wellington, Kansas and from Newton to Arkansas City, Kansas, and Purcell, Oklahoma. The Santa Fe had depots or towers at more than 620 stations in this territory ranging from small one-room wood frame boxes to large masonry edifices with more than 20 rooms.

Softcover. Condition: New. Santa Fes Colorado Division Speedway: A History of the Legendary Mainline Between Dodge City, Kansas and La Junta, Colorado. On May 17, 1937, the Santa Fe Railway inaugurated a new high-speed diesel-powered luxury train. The Super Chief. It was scheduled to cover the 202 miles between Dodge City, Kansa…s, and La Junta, Colorado, at an average speed of 87.2 miles per hour. On February 20, 1938, the schedules of virtually all of the passenger trains were speeded up on this stretch of track on the northern passenger mainline, which quickly became known as the Speedway. The Speedway was at various times a major part of a division and at times a division in itself. Author Walz explores the history of how the Santa Fe built through this country, of how it served the towns and industries along its lines and how it operated the railroad from the 1870s through 1996. It includes a town-by-own description of the line with detailed information on terminals like La Junta and Dodge City. But first and foremost, this is a study of the passenger trains especially in the period from 1938 through 1971when Santa Fe routinely operated them over the Speedway at some of the highest sustained speeds on the system. Twenty-five years in the making, the book is richly illustrated with period views, including the work of pioneer action photographer Otto Perry. This, then, is not only a study of the Santa Fe Railway in the high plains of western Kansas and eastern Colorado, but an economic and cultural history of the region as well.

Softcover. Condition: New. This is another wonderful book about the Santa Fe Railway published by the Santa Fe Railway Historical and Modeling Society. There are historical photographs in black & white, color photographs of the more recent times, extensive text, track diagrams of important yards and junctions for both the histor…ian and model railroader. Includes lists of passenger trains operated, passenger cars to be switched in and out, lists of freight trains operated for various eras, steam and diesel locomotive assignments, water service and dimensions and many maps. This book tells the story of the aptly named Santa Fes Middle Division. Because of frequent boundary changes, it is difficult to define precisely what was included in the Middle Division, so the author included all the territory covered by the Middle Division of the Santa Fe at some point in its history. This division covered the middle part of Kansas, and, until it merged with much of the Oklahoma Division, was all in Kansas (except for a mere 1.9 miles in Nebraska). It was also the heart of Americas "Wheat Belt," and the revenue from its traffic furnished much of the capital for the expansion of the Santa Fe. In addition to freight traffic, the Middle Division saw all the main line through passenger trains, including those between the eastern end of the system and the West Coast, between the eastern end of the system and Colorado, and between the eastern end of the system and Texas. The Middle Division also had an extensive network of branch lines. The author covers all this and more. This book continues the history of Santa Fe divisions published by the Santa Fe Railway Historical and Modeling Society. Prior to this volume there were four division histories covering: the Colorado Division, the Denver District (The Joint Line), the Los Angeles Division and the Illinois Division. Contents: Introduction, pp. 6-8, The Beginnings and Growth: 1870-1905, pp. 9-42, Consolidation Through the Roaring Twenties: 1905-1930, pp. 43-86, The Depression and WWII: 1930-1946, pp. 87-118, Post-War to Amtrak: 1946-1971, pp. 119-154, The Latter Day Santa Fe: 1971-1995, pp. 155-182, Appendices, pp. 183-189, Bibliography, pp. 190-192. Santa Fe Railway Historical and Modeling Society, softcover, 192 Pages with 231 photographs and Illustrations. Detailed map of the Middle Division at its peak in 1965.

Softcover. Condition: New. On August 1, 1899, the Santa Fe and the Colorado & Southern began operating the Santa Fes line between Denver and Pueblo in a truly joint and integrated fashion. The two companies envisioned that the employees of the line, whether from the ATSF or the C&S would be employees of the new Joint Line. In 19…18 the USRA nationalized the nations railroad and brought another player to the Join Line, the Denver & Rio Grande Western. The Santa Fes and Rio Grandes main lines basically paralleled each other between Denver and Pueblo, the USRA forced the two to operate as a single double-track railroad. When the USRA handed the railroads back to private ownership, the ATSF and D&RGW decided to continue to operate the two lines as if they were a single double-track railroad shared with the C&S. From that time until the BNSF merger in 1995 the three involved railroads both cooperated and competed with one another. Author Robert Walz explores the fascinating history of this cooperation among all three railroads from their beginnings in the Denver and Pueblo markets up to the BNSF merger. The book is richly illustrated with track charts and over 250 period views (over 80 in color) including the work of Otto Petty as well as contemporary photographers. Contents: The Early Years to 1900, pp. 9-22, AT&SFC&S Contract Operations: 1900 to mid-1918, pp. 23-38, Enter the USRA and the D&RGW: 1918 to World War II, pp. 39-94, Diesels Supplant Steam: World War II to 1955, pp. 95-118, Passenger Trains Decline as Freight Holds Steady: 1955-1971, pp. 119-140, Enter Powder River Coal, pp. 141-165, Appendix, Bibliography, pp. 166-169. Includes maps and profiles, diagrams. Steam Era photographs are B&W and Diesel Era photographs are mostly color.
