INTRODUCTION
This volume on Santa Fe "WAY-CARS" is presented, not as the definitive work of the century on the subject, but to represent the best the author can produce, based upon the limits of comprehensiveness due to lack of a single data source. Records in the Santa Fe archives are quite limited, not through any particular disinterest in same on the part of departed or present Santa Fe officials as much as by the limitations of storage space available to Santa Fe personnel to hold materials that are no longer pertinent to the railroad scene. When equipment types were finally disposed of or discontinued, drawings connected thereto were usually disposed of to make room for current needs. However, due to the interest of men in the Mechanical Department, the Engineer section, and Public Relations of Santa Fe, and many private individuals, sufficient records have been developed to serve the purposes of this volume well. As the reader examines this work, he will discover some pages devoted to less-than-complete coverage of a specific type. We hasten to state here, all materials available to us have been included insofar as drawings are concerned, to possibly allow the reader to develop further that area only covered in a seemingly cursory fashion here. Other data are known to exist that would serve to "punch up" these "thin" areas, but unfortunately were not made available for use herein, the reasons for that refusal being better known to the possessors of such data.
A long dissertation as to the value, uses, or purposes for the "Way-Car" will be left to others to develop, this volume is intended for use primarily by the modeler of Santa Fe equipment, and is thus devoid of much of the rhetoric some might expect. The author has pointed the thrust of the entire volume in the direction of works he would like to have in his library to assist with his modeling pursuits. It is hoped the reader will understand this self-imposed limitation, and find as much happiness in use of the contents as the author had in the preparation.
