Del Grosso, Robert C.

Excellent summary of a pivotal year in Santa Fe's history in which the proposed merger between Santa Fe and Southern Pacific was considered by the ICC and denied. Also covers the normal activities of the railroad in its different divisions and a detailed description of its ownership of the Toledo, Peoria & Western, with roster (even though SF had disposed of it in 1989). Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and a 16 page color section (some of which show the rare "Kodachrome" paint scheme that SP began to apply before receiving ICC approval for the merger and which subsequently had to be repainted). Includes 1992 locomotive roster as well as new power and dispositions for  1985-92. 144 pages.
