HISTORY OF THE SANTA FE RAILROAD
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway reached the Pacific coast in 1885, making the entire continent between the Atlantic and Pacific accessible by rail. With the invention of the motor car, accessibility to out-of-the-way places from all stopping points along the railway became possible. Major R. Hunter Clarkson was one of the first entrepreneurs to commercialize the romantic idea of the Southwest. His words, "There is more of historic, prehistoric, human and scenic interest ... than in any similar area of the world, not excepting India, Egypt, Europe or Asia.
