Description:
South Platte Press. Softcover. New. The end of the industrial steam age in North America resulted in many steam locomotives being relegated to parks or museums. However, during the regular use of steam, there were many instances in which steam engines became ""lost locomotives,"" often by either sinking into deep bodies of water by accident or by being intentionally abandoned in place. Many of these stories of lost locomotives now range from fact to urban myth. This book examines some of the best known cases of forlorn or abandoned steam engines that have been recorded over the past century. It includes an extensive appendix section detailing known or rumored lost locomotives. South Platte Press, softcover, 102 pages, 54 B&W illustrations and photographs.

Description:
South Platte Press. Softcover. New. South Platte Press, softcover, 120 pages, 60 B&W illustrations. Many stories about the Union Pacific Railroad have centered around its construction as part of the nation's first transcontinental rail line. One of the more famous stories concern the Plum Creek Raid, in which three UP employees were killed and a UP freight train was derailed by the Northern Cheyenne on August 7, 1867, near Plum Creek (now Lexington), Nebraska. It is the best-known instance in which Native Americans successfully wrecked the ""iron horse"" during their struggle against the encroachment of the railroad on their tribal lands. The incident includes the unusual tale of UP employee William Thompson and his scalp. Noted railroad historian Thornton Waite looks at the many conflicting versions of events related to the incident, and how it has been been portrayed in the media over the past 150-plus years. Contents: Foreword, Introduction, pp. 5-12, Building the Union Pacific in Nebraska, pp.… Read More

Description:
Santa Fe Railway H&M Society. Softcover. 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… Read More

Santa Fe Railway H&M Society. Hardcover. 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.

Description:
Santa Fe Railway H&M Society. Softcover. 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… Read More

Description:
Santa Fe Railway H&M Society. Softcover. New. On August 1, 1899, the Santa Fe and the Colorado & Southern began operating the Santa Fe's line between Denver and Pueblo in a truly joint and integrated fashion. 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… Read More

Description:
Santa Fe Railway H&M Society. Softcover. 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… Read More

Santa Fe Railway H&M Society. Softcover. 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,… Read More

White River Productions. Hardcover. New. The Metroliners were a project started by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the builder, the Budd Corporation of Philadelphia along with General Electric and Westinghouse. The equipment entered service after the formation of the Penn Central Corporation. The now retired equipment was more familiar to travelers under Amtrak provided service in the Northeast Corridor. America's fastest passenger trains were developed through an innovative high-speed rail program that spanned more than forty years. For two generations of rail travelers, ""Metroliner"" evoked an image of speed and convenience. Conceived when the future of U.S. rail travel was in doubt, Metroliner captured the public's attention and arguably led Congress to create Amtrak. The Metroliners tells the story of the development, marketing, and operational challenges, all of which led to the train becoming the most-used travel mode in the busy corridor between New York and Washington.

Description:
South Platte Press. Softcover. New. By 1985, many of the larger U.S. and Canadian railroads began hiring outside contractors to transport train crews to their rest terminals following the end of their legally limited 12 hours of work, and to otherwise assist them in their work duties. The author of this book, Darrell Wendt, was employed eight years (2000-2008) as a crew van driver with one of these contractors, Renzenberger, Inc. He worked out of the firm's Council Bluffs Region, which covered about a 280-mile radius of Omaha, Neb., and Council Bluffs, Iowa. Writing about a little-known part of modern railroading, Darrell uses sincerity and humor to describe what it was like to be a train crew hauler for the Union Pacific and other rail companies. The book is illustrated with more than 75 B&W photographs taken by the author. South Platte Press, softcover, 104 pages, smaller portrait format, B&W photographs.
