Nostalgia & History > Timetable Tuesday: A Look at the Santa Fe

The Santa Fe had a focus on Native Americans and Canyon Scenery in its pre-war timetables. (Photo 1 is a reprint)

In the late 1940's and into the 1950's, there were both a System timetable that was labelled "Ticket Agent Edition" and a thinner "Passenger Edition" that featured individual pages and schedules for each train. (Photo 2) Samples of these will be in the following post.

The 1950 Ticket Agent Edition had lots of information about Fred harvey Food Service. (Photo 3).
