| 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 were taken by a
career railroader proud to restore The Chief name to the public eye. |
