Colorado Rail
Annual 23 is "Santa Fe All The Way." A Ration Mountain Railway
Journal details the AT&SF's famed passage from Trinidad, Colorado,
to Raton, New Mexico.
Beginning in prehistoric times, author Daniel E. Seward brings the
story up to the early 1970s and Amtrak. Included are other rail lines
in the area: Colorado & Southern, Denver & Rio Grande, several
coal short lines and even the Trinidad street railway. Renown locomotive
historian Lloyd Stagner's From Newton New Mexico in the Steam Era:
The Santa Fe Northern District 1909-1953 outlines AT&SF locomotive
practices, operations and assignments.
This is complemented by Northern District Steam Panorama, an overview
by another authority on steam locomotives in the West, Cornelius Hauck.
Corny also covers the steam era shops and activity at the division
point of La Junta. La Junta: the Santa Fe's Colorado Connection. Farther
west, Gordon Bassett's Desert Main Line: The Santa Fe in Arizona surveys
AT&SF across the northern part of the Sunset State. Emphasis is
on history and operations before 1950, including the remote mainline
telegraph station at Nelson.
