The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company had the book printed for passengers of the Santa Fe lines to read while traveling to different destinations along the route. With routes along the company's rail system ranging from Chicago to San Francisco, the book served as a guide for passengers to understand and learn more about different routes, landmarks, and destinations that they passed during their trips. The book also has sections devoted to the history of the company and of different pioneer trails that spanned near the company's rail lines, with accompanying illustrations to meet the reader's interest.Collection
