NOW AVAILABLE! The famed railroad of history and song, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, served only one location in Nebraska, the state-line town of Superior, funneling grain via the Santa Fe to ports on the Gulf of Mexico. This book recounts the last quarter century of Santa Fe operations in Nebraska before it became part of today’s BNSF system.

NOW AVAILABLE! Fred Ritter Jr. was a Swiss immigrant farmer living near Tilden, Neb., in the early 20th century. He was also a railfan who took snapshot-quality images of steam and diesel locomotives, passenger trains and small-town depots. His photo coverage included the Chicago & North Western, Burlington Route, and Union Pacific. Fred’s story ultimately tells of his love for both trains and family, and how the two were intertwined.

AVAILABLE NOW! The merger that created Burlington Northern in 1970 and Amtrak’s assumption of intercity passenger service in 1971 brought significant change to BN’s roster of E-units. This culminated in 1972 with the sale of 21 E-units to the West Suburban Mass Transit District for use in Chicago-Aurora suburban service. Rail historian Bruce Nelson tells the story of the last large E-unit fleet in regular service in America.
