This book covers the AT&SF's passenger trains at the dawn of the streamlining era through to Amtrak in 1971. Exterior and interior photographs, many taken from the railway's own public relations collection, as well as many other sources, give fresh insight into Santa Fe passenger service, its philosophy, operations, name trains and secondary runs, cars, locomotives, timetables, advertising, and much more.

 Santa Fe Passenger Trains in the Streamlined Era January 4, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have just purchased my copy from Amazon. This is a wonderful book with more than adequate detail of all aspects of Santa Fe's fabulous and world famous era of streamlined train travel. Great photographs including colour with a shot of the first boxcab in its modified streamliner phase. Thank you Mr Dorin, a great buy at the price. Grab one before they all go!

Everyone knows that Streamliners are known not for the exterior, but also for their elegant interior! A bit disappointed on the text of this book. Little reference as far as the interior of the coaches. There is only a brief description of the diesel engines of these Santa Fe Streamliners. Nothing much about the E-units or even the First Super Chiefs. If you really like to know more about these Santa Fe Streamliners, I would suggest the book Streamliners: The Pre-war years and Streamliners: Post-war years. Those book has more information than this book. The photo from this book was COPIED from the book Santa Fe Streamliners: The Chiefs and thier Tribesmen which in my opinion is a little better book but still lacks information as far the interior of these great Streamliners. The only useful I found useful is the schedule. Nothing more.
