BK-20-971 Santa Fe Streamlined Observation Cars

$5.00

Santa Fe Streamlined Observation Cars

This book features a collection of exterior and interior photographs, many sourced from the railway’s public relations archives, alongside detailed floor plan drawings that provide fresh perspectives on a significant aspect of the AT&SF passenger operations during the streamlined lightweight era. Modelers will find the presented material valuable for their projects. While the focus is on a small segment of the Santa Fe’s extensive passenger fleet, the observation cars are particularly noteworthy as they not only offered lounge space but also served as the tail-sign for named trains, symbolizing the train’s prestige and class.

Softbound, 80 Pages
