The Santa Fe Route - Railroads of Arizona Vol. 4

From the beginning of construction in 1881, through the end of pioneer days and well into the twentieth century, this railroad was vital to the growth of towns such as Winslow, Flagstaff, and Kingman, and was also an important factor in the development of Arizona and the West. A rich railroad history is presented in this book, from early construction days and the problems of operation through an arid and difficult territory, to steam and, later, diesel locomotives and their trains of various eras. Illustrated with a superb collection of rare and historic photographs, this is an outstanding addition to the Arizona series.
