Dear Fellow Railfan,

Chartered in 1859, the Santa Fe Railway was one of the largest railroad lines in the United States, before it ceased operations and merged with Burlington Northern in 1996. A pioneer in intermodal freight transport and passenger service, the Santa Fe extended to areas not accessible by rail with bus lines and ferryboats for visitors to continue their adventure out west towards the ocean!

Pay tribute to the noble Santa Fe Railway with our breathtaking cover print – exclusively by artist John Winfield – capturing an SDFP-45 locomotive as it fearlessly pulls a line of heavy

containers through New Mexico’s scenic backdrop. Search the rest of our late summer catalog to find all-new N scale items on pages 6 and 7, and don’t forget to check out a number of exclusive books, kits, and other nostalgic products found on pages 56 through 60!

So, choose your favorites and give us a call toll-free at: 800-261-5922, visit us at HistoricRail.com, or mail in the provided order form today!

Thanks for shopping!

– Greg Herrick On the Cover:

Racing the New Mexico Moon

John Winfield. A remarkable print by artist John Winfield, this limited edition artwork truly reflects New Mexico’s unrivalled landscape.
