The Santa Fe Railway is well remembered for its passenger trains.
Indeed, articles on these trains and their operations written by many
different authors with contributions by even more individuals, have
appeared many times for over nearly a half century in the publications
of the Santa Fe Railway Historical & Modeling Society and its
predecessors under the names of the High Iron, Santa Fe Modeler, The Santa Fe Route, and The Warbonnet. Compilers Michael W. Flick, an acknowledged expert on Santa Fe passenger trains, and John R. Signor, long time editor of The Warbonnet,
have brought to this compendium not only articles of their own, but
have gathered together dozens published as far back as the early 1970s.
Many required updating. Corrections were made as needed. Color images
were added if available, some original articles were produced when only
black and white was suitable for publishing, though some of the source
images had actually been in color. For some articles, additional
material was added, and some original material was
created to fill some gaps for specific trains and operations for which nothing had been written prior to this compendium.
While this compendium is by no means a complete, or comprehensive
review of all Santa Fe passenger trains, it does place within one cover
the board scope of Santa Fe passenger train articles published by the
SFRH&MS and predecessors, in a convenient and accessible single
volume.
