Santa Fe Railroad

The Santa Fe Railroad, officially known as the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, was a major U.S. freight and passenger train company operational from the 19th century until its merger into BNSF Railway in 1996. It historically connected destinations across the southwestern and midwestern United States, known for its extensive route network, reliable service, and iconic passenger trains like the Super Chief. The company played a key role in the development of the American Southwest, facilitating economic growth, tourism, and cross-country transportation. Its legacy continues through the BNSF Railway, one of the largest freight railroads in North America.
