The Santa Fe streamliner pictured here is one of the diesel-electric passenger trains the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway introduced in the late 1930s and 1940s to speed travel across the Southwest. Its sleek, streamlined shell and bright paint scheme were meant to signal a new, modern age of rail travel, and the line's named trains became a symbol of the railroad's reach through New Mexico and beyond. Diesel power replaced steam on many of these runs, cutting servicing time and making faster schedules practical over long distances. Notice the station setting, which shows how these trains were built to serve the small towns and junctions that depended on them.
