The Santa Fe Railroad added an industrial empire to the United States. It has been mainly responsible for the colonizing, development, and permanent occupancy of the greater portion of that vast region included within the present limits of Kansas, Southern Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona, and
much of California.
As is perhaps commonly known, the Santa Fe System ranks with the foremost of the transcontinental railroads, which lines have made possible the occupation and the retention of the entire great West. For without the efficient and
rapid transportation
which these splendid railways have provided, it is hardly conceivable that this Union of States as we know it could exist.
