The rail network across the southern
Great Plains
was dramatically changed in 1993 by creation of the
Central Kansas Railway
, a regional formed from 800 miles of branch line trackage previously operated by the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway.
This book tells about both the CKRY and its “sister” short line, the Kansas Southwestern, the latter created from cast-off Union Pacific branch lines. Together the two companies provided essential freight service to
Wichita
and many agrarian towns in the surrounding
region of Kansas
and
northern Oklahoma
.
The combined system was sold to Watco, Inc. in 2001, and operations continue today.
Ex-Santa Fe tells how CKRY continued to have a close association with AT&SF following the sale, with details on traffic operations, motive power and facilities.
Included are 115 color photos, along with maps and engine rosters.
