Santa Fe Railway

Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) ...  Pre-BNSF

Since these photographs were for the most part taken by me in the 1970's and 1980's, it stands to reason that a lot of the map locations shown for where they were taken are markedly different today.  Tracks may have been removed, re-aligned or replaced by urban passenger lines such as MetroLink.  It might be interesting to compare locations with how they look today.
