Chartered in 1863, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway s first trains rolled the next year, and the line reached Santa Fe, NM, in 1880. By 1929, at its peak, the Santa Fe had over 13,000 miles of track. Santa Fe Railway captures images of steam and diesel from across this vast system, so famous it was memorialized in a song that won an Academy Award. Do you hear that whistle down the line? (14 Ã— 22 inches, open).
January: Santa Fe 544, along with three other units are all running Elephant Style, arriving at Caliente, California, in the Tehachapi Mountains with Train 971; a Richmond, California, to Kansas City intermodal train. It is January 10, 1992, cold, and the fog is getting heavy. Ahead lie 26 miles of steep grades, tunnels, single track with sidings, and one curve after another until the top of the grade is reached at Tehachapi Summit, a mile east of its namesake town.
February: It is January 3, 1960 and Santa Fe 2373, an American Locomotive Works (ALCO) Model S-2 sits between assignments at Los Angeles, California, along with another switch engine and 2653, an EMD Model GP-7; all are in Black with Silver Zebra Stripes. This paint scheme was used to enhance visibility.

June: Santa Fe 11 and 11A are leaving Chicago, Illinois with Train #5, The Ranger en route Photographed by Tom Harley to Galveston, Texas in June 1947. These E-3 s, an A-B set built by Electromotive and placed in service in 1939, were the only E-3 s on the Santa Fe roster.
