Description
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (ATSF), later known simply as the Santa Fe, was one of the railroads of US transpiration lore. Founded in 1859, it stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles, serving the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Competition and the changing climate to create mega-railroads led to the merger of the Santa Fe with the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1983 to form the Santa Fe-Southern Pacific Railroad (SFSP). Not much long after, the Santa Fe-Southern Pacific merged with the Burlington Northern to form the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF), completing the consolidation of three of the nation's most storied carriers.
