Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Tin Candle
Bring a little railroad history into the room with a candle inspired by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Chartered in 1859, the Santa Fe grew from Kansas roots into a Chicago-to-Los Angeles system known across the West and Southwest. This piece speaks to collectors drawn to classic rail imagery, route maps, depot towns, and the enduring Santa Fe name. A thoughtful accent for a study, rail room, office, or home display.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, commonly called the Santa Fe or AT&SF, was chartered in February 1859 to serve Atchison and Topeka, Kansas, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Its first general office building opened in Topeka in 1869. The line reached the Kansas-Colorado border in 1873 and Pueblo in 1876; a branch from Lamy reached Santa Fe in 1880 after the main route bypassed the city because of mountainous terrain. Through acquisitions and construction, the system reached Chicago in 1887 and completed a Chicago-Los Angeles mainline that year. The railroad expanded across much of the West and Southwest, including California, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico. Known for freight, intermodal work, and notable passenger trains, it ended independent operations after merging with Burlington Northern on December 31, 1996. The combined railroad became the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway, later known as BNSF.
