Artifact Overview

Chartered in 1859, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway connected Chicago with southern California via the southwestern United States. Though it disappeared in a 1995 merger, Santa Fe is still remembered for its colorful locomotives, its Harvey House restaurants, and the Academy Award-winning song "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" from the 1946 film The Harvey Girls.
