Remarkable eight volume photo archive of Santa Fe steam locomotives, motor cars, depots, etc. Nearly every shot meticulously captured the number of the engine or subject. Some fascinating shots, including one of a burning depot building in 1910. Too many highlights to describe here, but each volume described on spine: Vol. 1 - 'Steam Locos No 95 -1063,' Vol. 2 - '1066 - 1694,' Vol. 3 - '1696 - 3141,' Vol. 4 - '3142 - 3461,' Vol. 5 - '3462 - 3842,' Vol. 6 - '3843 - 5024,' Vol. 7 - 'C.K. Holliday Engines and Cars, Atchison KS Centennial June 1954, Misc pics, Locos, etc,' and Vol. 8 - 'Misc Engines, Motor Cars, Depots, etc.' Each volume bound with a printed spine plus handwritten overview of contents, plus name of the maker, Charles Goebel (1898-1987). Goebel was an AT&SF employee for many years, finally retiring as an Agent at Atchison in 1963. He was also the curator of the Santa Fe Railway Museum, housed in the Burlingame depot waiting room until the building was closed in 1981. This archive represents a rare part of Goebel's collection that remains in private hands as most of his collection was donated to the Kansas State Historical Society in 1981. Hard to overstate the potential in, and significance of, this photo archive. Definitely worth further research. Visit our web site for a total of 24 images detailing this lot....more
