Description
The
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (ATSF),
later known simply as the
Santa Fe
, was
one of the railroads of US transportation lore
. Founded in 1859, it
stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles,
serving the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Competition and the changing climate to create mega-railroads led to the
merger of the Santa Fe with the Southern Pacific
Railroad in 1983 to form the Santa Fe-Southern Pacific Railroad (SPSF). Not much long after, the
Santa Fe-Southern Pacific merged with the Burlington Northern
to form the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF), completing the consolidation of three of the nation's most storied carriers.
For auction is a 2-pack of playing cards from the Santa Fe, circa 1960s.
The
cards are unopened and come in a plastic box.
One deck features a scene of 2 freight trains, while the other deck shows Santa Fe diesels. Each deck measures appx 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches.
