A Sampling of Penn Central : Southern Region on Display (Railroads Past and Present)
Author: Jerry Taylor
Publisher: Indiana Univ Press

This book fills an information void with its wonderful photographs taken between 1970 and 1972. The photos, with their detailed captions, portray the 5,000-plus miles of PC's Southern Region.

The Penn Central came into being with the merger of the New York Central and Pennsylvania lines in 1968, and ended with the formation of Conrail in 1976. Illustrated with over 200 photos taken between 1970 and 1972, plus detailed captions documenting the 5,000 miles of PC's Southern Region, A Sampling of Penn Central dissects operations at the Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis terminals. Perhaps most important of all, this new edition gives Taylor the opportunity to reflect on those hectic days to help you understand Penn Central's successes and failures.

All Aboard for Santa Fe : Railway Promotion of the Southwest, 1890s to 1930s
Author: Victoria E. Dye
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press (October 16, 2005)

By the late 1800s, the major mode of transportation for travelers to the Southwest was by rail. In 1878, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company (AT&SF) became the first railroad to enter New Mexico, and by the late 1890s it controlled more than half of the track-miles in the Territory. The company wielded tremendous power in New Mexico, and soon made tourism an important facet of its financial enterprise.

All Aboard for Santa Fe focuses on the AT&SF's marketing efforts to highlight Santa Fe as an ideal tourism destination. The company marketed the healthful benefits of the area's dry desert air, a strong selling point for eastern city-dwelling tuberculosis sufferers. AT&SF also joined forces with the Fred Harvey Company, owner of numerous hotels and restaurants along the rail line, to promote Santa Fe. Together, they developed materials emphasizing Santa Fe's Indian and Hispanic cultures, promoting artists from the area's art colonies, and created the Indian Detours sightseeing tours.

All Aboard for Santa Fe is a comprehensive study of AT&SF's early involvement in the establishment of western tourism and the mystique of Santa Fe.
