CD book. Condizione: New. From 1974, this long out-of-print and widely sought book has been digitized into Adobe PDF form, with bookmarking, into DVD form. The book is based on 19 passenger train consist books issued between 1946 and 1971 by the Santa Fe for the use of its officials. It tells what cars would have made up the standard company passenger trains at any given point and date on the railroad. It shows where cars would have been dropped and where picked up along their journey. When the book was originally published, some of the floor plans did not reproduce well. In digitizing this book an attempt has been made to make the diagrams more clear. An index of photographs and drawings has been added to this publication.

Softcover. Condizione: 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 depot 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 Fe's organization throughout its history. It looks at the Santa Fe's 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 Fe's organization at that time.

Softcover. Condizione: New. On January 4th, 1937, Harry J. Briscoe stepped off the Santa Fe train from Amarillo, onto the soil of Slaton, Texas, a division headquarters point in the southern Panhandle, to begin his first year of service in what was to become a 45 year career with the Santa Fe Railway. Beginning work as stenographer then on to a transportation clerk, Briscoe worked a number of positions, from Assistant Train Master to Superintendent, before finishing his career at Topeka, Kansas, in 1982 as General Manager of the Eastern Lines. During his career, he served the Santa Fe at such outposts as: Oklahoma City, Chicago, Amarillo, Texas, Waynoka, Oklahoma, La Junta, Colorado, Wellington, Kansas, Emporia, Kansas, and San Bernardino, California. Along the way he encountered many interesting characters - from the track walkers on districts under his supervision, to legendary Santa Fe presidents like Fred Gurley and John Reed, movie stars like Errol Flynn, mid-western politicians and small-town newspapermen who went on to be national legends in themselves. Briscoe relates stories about them all. Watching the Trains Go By is, then, an insiders look at the people, life and times of a great transportation system in an era when Ship and Travel by Rail meant Santa Fe All the Way.

Softcover. Condizione: New. Softcover, 72 pages, 103 Color photographs excluding front back covers and table of contents. This book documents the changes on the Santa Fe from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, a period of significant change on the Santa Fe as it faced competition from the interstate highway system, jet travel, and changes in transportation tastes. Santa Fe responded with intermodal service, the fastest freight train, more powerful locomotives, and new signal and telecommunications systems while maintaining its hallmark passenger service and creative marketing. The pictures presented in this title were taken by a career railroader proud to restore The Chief name to the public eye.

Hardcover, 132 pages, 8.5 x 11 in., B&W photographs There haven't been too many books published regarding the hard-working men of the railroad maintenance-of-way work and life. This is a good title regarding the life and times from a southwest US and Santa Fe experience. Naylor, a track maintenance and construction supervisor for the Santa Fe Railway in New Mexico from 1921 to 1961, upon his death left a fascinating story of his time with the railway. He was an on-the-ground eyewitness to many of the changes on the Santa Fe, making this book a time capsule for both early railroading and life in New Mexico. His narrative provides rare glimpses into the hard life of a railroad track gang working as well as his difficulties as a supervisor and married man with family responsibilities. Naylor is humorous, fair, helpful to others, and always candid, revealing both his greatest fears (snakes) and personal pleasures, which ranged from fishing to gardening. Naylor's book adds descriptions of places that are now railroad ghost towns as well as the effort involved in getting to and from such locations prior to convenient, more modern transport. Forty Years on the Santa Fe Railroad will transport the reader to a refreshing different time and place. The book concludes with an afterword by Bob Walz on modeling maintenance of way operations.

CD book. Condizione: New. The DVD version is the only version of this title Arizona Hobbies could obtain. This is a CD-ROM copy of the book of the same title which catalogs the known steam locomotives operated by one particular railroad business enterprise over the course of its corporate existence, commonly known as the Santa Fe Railway. It is the first of two volumes, addressing the locomotive wheel arrangements used on the Santa Fe beginning in the 19th Century. In effect, this publication is a database - a formal collection of tables, summarizing and cross-referencing the more than three thousand steam locomotives owned and operated by the Santa Fe between 1869 and 1983. These tabulations are the result of dozens of man-years of labor, beginning with the efforts of anonymous clerks in the offices of forgotten locomotive manufacturers and railroad corporations. Eventually Professor Sylvan R. Wood, Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, Stillwater, Oklahoma created a locomotive roster database for the Santa Fe.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Santa Fe Railway Passenger Car Reference Series Volume 4: Business & Special Purpose Cars based on the original work by Frank M. Ellington & Joseph W. Shine. For over a century Santa Fe Railway's management and executives had at their disposal a fleet of railroad cars designed for business. Completely self-contained, a Business car served as a mobile office and allowed an official to visit his territory first hand, and stop and talk with employees on the way. Often these cars were also used for entertaining VIP's. The first cars built expressly for this purpose were delivered in 1893. While designed with a certain amount of comfort in mind, they were not opulent or extravagant. (There were exceptions, such as Car 17 built for Santa Fe President E. P. Ripley in 1907). Santa Fe was unique in also having a fleet of junior edition Business cars for the more prosaic service of a Division Superintendent, a tradition that was carried into the heavyweight era. Reflecting the move to lightweight, streamlined equipment for revenue service, Santa Fe began purchasing similar equipment for its business fleet in 1949. Rostered along side the Business car fleet was a wide variety of interesting special purpose cars. For a railway system as large and as old as the Santa Fe, it found itself in need of educating and training its employees as technology advanced. More over, it needed ways to monitor motive power, track infrastructure and other systems in order to make sound business decisions. This training and analysis needed to be mobile in order to bring it to the far reaches of the system. This Volume covers in detail these cars, from wooden Official cars of the 1890s through the sophisticated stainless steel cars of the 1950s and more recent Director's cars, to such esoteric equipment as Dynamometer cars, Locomotive Simulators and theater cars. Its all here, including the memories of those who served aboard them, illustrated with rosters, diagrams and hundreds of photographs.

Softcover. Condizione: New. Santa Fe's 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, Kansas, 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 1971'when 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. Condizione: 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 Lee's lens, the history of the Santa Fe's last 30 years in this territory at the heart of the Santa Fe. During Lee's active years - 1964 to 1995 - the railroad experienced great changes. In 1964 Santa Fe's 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 Lee's lens, we see all these changes, beginning with Lee's 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 Fe's 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.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. The dream of promoter Arthur Edward Stilwell, the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railway never made it to Kansas City and never made connections with the Oriental trade. Financed without the aide of Wall Street 'money trusts', the railroad was constructed in many disconnected sections in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and the states of Sinaloa and Chihuahua in Mexico. Attempts to link the already-built line from the Mexican seaport of Topolobampo, Sinaloa, and the rest of the system were halted by the formidable Sierra Madre and revolutionary activities in Mexico. And in the United States, progress was slow, due to lack of funds. In fact, Stilwell lost control of the railway in 1912 and it was in the hands of receivers more than once. Were it not for the discovery of oil in west Texas in the 1920s, the KCM&O might not have survived to the Depression. As it was, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway bought it in 1928, completed some of the lines in Texas, and waited for improving business conditions that never came. Authors Pounds and McCall cover the story of the Orient in rich detail- of the birth, growth tribulations and, finally, the denouement of Arthur Stilwell's grand idea - the Orient Railway - which for over sixty years after remained a quaint, backwater operation of the great Santa Fe Railway system. a railroad that, as the old cowboy said, 'didn't start nowheres, didn't end up nowheres and there weren't nothing in between.'

Softcover. Condizione: New. At first glance, this is an album of the photography of the late Gerry Salsig. But is more than that. It is a labor of love, written by a friend who grew up with the photographer - a testimony of an eye witness and his friends as they made a journey typical of that made by many of us who, while growing up, became fascinated with the railroad known as The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. Not only does this book describe the innocence of several friends from the East Bay area of San Francisco as they began to explore their railroad world and experience the sights, sounds and people connected with it, but the author, Patrick D. Flynn - who later became a dispatcher employed by the Santa Fe - adds considerable depth from an insider's point of view as to how Santa Fe operated the west end of the Second District of the Valley Division. This division was operated under time table and train-orders over a three-decade period beginning in the mid-1960s and on into the mid-1980s.

Wheat was the most important grain to the railroad, which had extensive lines throughout the Midwest, including the major wheat- producing states of Kansas, Oklahoma, 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. Â, 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 ?â?à ?à ,?&euro,?à ,?à first to 50-ton boxcars, then to covered hopper cars (initially with 70-ton capacity), to today's 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 Fe's involvement with important commodities shipped on its lines.

Softcover. Condizione: New. More than 25 years have passed since Jared Harper's pioneer work on Raton Pass was first published. This is a second edition of this important work, not only to bring it up to date, and to take advantage of recent trends in photo restoration and printing technology, but to expand on the original with the considerable amount of material that has come to light on the subject in the intervening years, especially on the coal mining industry that surrounded the pass from the beginning through the middle 1950s. As the highest point on the vast Santa Fe Railway system, and possessing one of the steepest main line grades in the United States, Raton Pass attracted pioneer railroad photographers like Otto C. Perry, Richard Kindig, Jackson Thode, Les Logue, Clayton Tinkham, Joe Schick, and Preston George who documented the parade of trains over Raton Mountain in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Raton was also noted for operating many more passenger trains and streamliners than freight trains, as an easier grade, via Amarillo, Texas, and Belen, New Mexico, was used by the majority of freight trains. Triple headers of steam engines were not uncommon. Freights usually had three or four engines on each train, a double header on the front end, and one or two pushers at the rear. Today the railroad is owned by the State of New Mexico and faces an uncertain future, but the history an operation of Santa Fe's line over Raton Mountain remains, and is indeed the stuff that legends are made of.

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 1918 the USRA nationalized the nation's railroad and brought another player to the Join Line, the Denver & Rio Grande Western. The Santa Fe's and Rio Grande's 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.

Softcover. Condizione: New. Softcover, 196 pages, 240 photographs with 70 in Color, included are maps, charts, tables, appendices, and a bibliography. This volume continues the authors histories of the divisions of the Santa Fe Railway. Since this a an historical work, most of the photographs are B&W. Only after World War II will Color photographs appear. There is much data in this book including layout of the Albuquerque Shops, track diagrams, a synopsis of freight and passenger trains at various times, what local trains and switch engines worked and where. 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 Fe's 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 Fe's 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.

Softcover. Condizione: 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 historian 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 Fe's 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 America's "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.

Hardcover. Condizione: 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 developed 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. Condizione: New. Softcover, 208 pages, over 270 images (about 25% color) and maps, notes, bibliography, appendices, and index. The Missouri Division of the Santa Fe Railway provides an informative and lively account of the story of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway on the Missouri Division, an entity that existed within the organizational hierarchy of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) from 1903 to 1956. Historical coverage begins with the planning and building of the line across Missouri and Iowa that occurred from 1883-1888 and extends beyond the consolidation of the North Missouri Division with the Illinois Division in 1956, to the merger of the ATSF with the Burlington Northern Railroad in 1995. Geographic coverage in this book extends from Fort Madison, Iowa, to Sheffield, Missouri, on the east side of Kansas City. Argentine, the Santa Fe's major yard at Kansas City, and the environs of Kansas City were within the territory of the Kansas City Terminal Division. The history and operations of the Santa Fe in Kansas City were covered in a previous book in the SFRH&MS regional series, Santa Fe's Eastern Division: Where It All Began, by Robert D. Walz (2021). This book on the Missouri Division also covers the St. Joseph District, a branch line that extended from the Santa Fe mainline at Henrietta, Missouri, northwest to St. Joseph, Missouri. Interviews of several employees from the division, plus author Brown's meticulous research, provide information on the Santa Fe that is simply unavailable elsewhere. Included in this volume is a comprehensive list of water, fuel, turntable and wye facilities, plus a roster of steam locomotives assigned to the division January 1, 1949, and their subsequent fate. The Missouri Division of the Santa Fe Railway is also lavishly illustrated with hundreds of photographs dating from the 1880s through the end of the 20th century.

Spiral Bound. Condizione: New. Santa Fe Railway H&MS, 288 pages, 11 x 8 in., coil bound, 317 B&W and 74 Color photographs, 75 diagrams, appendix, roster. This new Volume on Santa Fe's modern box cars starts where John Dobyne's Santa Fe Railway Rolling Stock Reference Series Volume 4 Santa Fe Boxcars 1869-1953 left off. Beginning with the 500 cars Bx-66 Class cars of 1954 - one of the last classes of box cars to come lettered from the builders with name train slogans on the car sides - it completes the story of box car development up to the BNSF merger of 1995. This was the colorful Shock Control and Super Shock Control era. Topeka shops installed a 10-inch travel 'Shock Control' sliding center sill under frame in a Bx-66 Class box car in June 1958. Numbered, 10001 and re-classed as a Bx-77 with a new Indian red and black paint scheme with a large Santa Fe herald and new advertising slogan 'DF with Shock Control' splashed across the car side, this car ushered in a new era in box car construction. From then on, nearly all new classes of Santa Fe box cars were fitted with either a Shock Control, or a Super Shock Control under frame, introduced in 1961. The last box cars built new for Santa Fe were 200 XF food loading car in Class Bx-211 out-shopped at Santa Fe's Topeka shops in 1981. During this period a number of older classes were rebuilt, often to ease a box car shortage at the time, and others bought used from leasing companies. And over the years many specialized cars were built for and assigned to shippers, especially automobile and appliance manufacturers and breweries, and others were designated for food loading, flour loading and other specialized lading, like such as Perlite. Because the appearance of new rolling stock delivered to Santa Fe from the car builders often varied widely from standard Santa Fe painting and lettering practice, a painting and lettering reference by class or groups of similar classes for cars in as-delivered livery, is included in the appendix, along with representative photographs in color.
