Santa Fe Railway Calendar

Chartered in 1863, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway's first trains rolled the next year, and the line reached Santa Fe, New Mexico, 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?

Santa Fe Railway Introduction

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway knitted together large parts of the United States with its innovative freight and passenger services. For a 140 years the Santa Fe, as it was affectionately called, was so famous it inspired an Academy Award-winning song. The tracks, the trains and the history live on in the just-released Santa Fe Railway 2011 calendar published by Tide-mark Press.
