"The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway System traverses the heart of romantic America - the land of the conquistadores and padres, the pathfinders, traders and pioneers. Some of the most remarkable scenery in the world is found on its lines, and in the vast frontier hinterland to north and south. Santa Fe tracks tap the most fertile farming sections of the United States, and regions rich in mineral wealth." - p.3.
