Santa Fe Kodachrome Skin Pack
After 137 years of phenomenal prosperity, the AT&SF joined Burlington Northern in 1996 to create the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway. Today, BNSF Railway grosses more than $20 billion annually, ranking it behind only Union Pacific as the country’s most powerful railroad.
Long before it became an icon the Santa Fe was nothing more than the dream of Cyrus Holliday. He envisioned a railroad from what was then the Territory of Kansas to the west coast with a branch reaching the Gulf of Mexico.
The colonel believed such a venture would yield strong profits thanks to plentiful trade found along the famous Santa Fe Trail and the Gulf’s deepwater ports. Such grand endeavors, of course, bring a healthy dose of skepticism and almost no one believed in Holliday’s idea.
At the time there was no reason to question this sentiment since the territory had yet to achieve statehood, few settlers could be found west of the Mississippi River, and even fewer railroads served the Great Plains. However, as Holliday correctly foresaw, if the iron horse arrived a great wave of immigrants would follow.
In addition, the fertile lands and mild climate appeared ready-made for agricultural development. With an active role in politics, he sought the territory’s inclusion into the Union (Kansas officially became the 34th state of the United States on January 29, 1861) while simultaneously promoting his railroad.
