Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway

Description

Here is the detailed and fascinating history of how two legendary railroads -- the Santa Fe and the Burlington Northern (which itself was comprised four major railroads) -- merged in 1995 to create what remains one of America's rail icons, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF). A blockbuster railroad merits a history book of the same scale, and this book will awe railfans with its rich content.

"National Railway Bulletin, "Winter 2005 (circ. unavailable)"A monumental, oversized volume, graced with numerous striking, full color photographs. Solomon writes well, and the book is easy to read, but difficult to hold - as it weighs over five pounds. The book is well designed and very reasonably priced. It will appeal to devotees of the BNSF and photographers everywhere."
