Route 66 Railway explores the relationship between Route 66 and the Santa Fe/BNSF Railway in spectacular pictures and entertaining text. For 80 years and over 800 miles, they have been constant companions through California, Arizona and New Mexico. For the first time their shared history is told, followed by a visual roadtrip across the Southwest through canyons, forests, deserts and towns of all sizes. Thrill to Santa Fe’s famous Warbonnets and modern BNSF diesels as they lead their trains past colorful cafes, tourist traps, motor courts, and train depots.
The book magically sweeps you along Route 66, visiting towns and touchstones where the railroad and highway meet, and recalling a time when crossing the Southwest was an adventure. Over 250 dramatic photographs will transport you up California’s Cajon Pass, across the Mojave Desert and Arizona Divide, and past the mesas of New Mexico. Along the way, we'll visit colorful cafes, tourist traps, motor courts, passenger depots and more . . . all amid the thunder of passing trains. In Route 66 Railway, the journey is the destination!
Check the Route 66 Railway website to learn more about the book and its author/photographer Elrond Lawrence.
