Santa Fe Locomotive Development: A Pictorial History in Chronological Order Steam to Diesel 1869 - 1957

This book encompasses in brief the story of Madame Queen and embraces steam locomotive development on the Santa Fe from 1869 to the officially announced end of steam operations in 1953. The actual end date of steam operation was August 1957.
Presented for the first time in chronological order in one publication, here is a brief photographic story of motive power development on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. Representative locomotive types and Classes are shown as technology developed, thus the overlap between the fruition of steam perfection and early Diesel development is demonstrated.

This work is a collaborative effort between Sam D. Teague, President of the Railroad Artifact Preservation Society, Inc. and Larry E. Brasher, author of Santa Fe Locomotive Development, which was published by Signature Press in 2006.

Photos were reprinted by the courtesy of the Temple Railroad & Heritage Museum, Santa Fe Historical & Modeling Society and the Railroad Artifact Preservation Society Collections.

This is the first time this book has been made available on Kindle.
