The Santa Fe railway was chartered on February 11, 1859, to join Atchison and Topeka, Kansas, with Santa Fe, New Mexico. In its early years, the railroad opened Kansas to settlement. Because long stretches of its main line traverse areas without water, Santa Fe was one of the first buyers of diesel locomotives for freight service. It was the Santa Fe Railway that helped to make Baldwin Locomotives obsolete. The railroad was known for its passenger trains and for the on-line eating houses and dining cars that were operated by Fred Harvey. Collection Includes: time table nos. 66, 70, 76, 82 & 118.
