THE ATCHISON, TOPEKA & SANTA FE RAILWAY COMPANY
==================================================
SANTA FE STEAM POWER
Santa Fe Notes: We have listed the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway under Transcontinental Railroads as truly it was. Those who lived in the west considered it a California railroad, those who lived in the Midwestern and Southern states thought of it as a Midwestern\Southern railroad. Finally, those who lived in the Chicago Area felt the Santa Fe belonged to them. There are many books written about the "Santa Fe." We shall, therefore, not say much. We will let the many photographs explain "Santa Fe."

Nicknamed "Madame Queen" this steam locomotive would go on to see 27 years of operation loging over 1,750,000 miles of service. Today the #5000 resides in Amarillo, Texas on static display.
