Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Heritage started in 1849 with the opening of the Aurora Branch Railroad in Illinois from Aurora to Chicago's west side. This grew into the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, which in a 1970 merger with several railroads became the Burlington Northern Railroad. A 1995 merger of the Burlington Northern Railroad with the Santa Fe Railway created the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railway, the largest railroad in North America at that time. This book carefully covers the heritage of this very successful railroad.
Beth Anne Keates, an industrious, dedicated, and passionate volunteer for the West Chester Railroad Heritage Association, with the encouragement of her father Donald P. van Krieken, has had a lifelong interest in rail transportation. Her husband, Brian, and sons, Andrew and Jacob, also share that interest. Kenneth C. Springirth, 1962 graduate of Drexel Institute of Technology and author of a series of books on streetcar and railroad lines, has had a long time interest in rail history as his father was a streetcar motorman in Philadelphia, and his grandfather was a streetcar motorman in Washington, D.C.
