Cyrus Kurtz Holliday was a capitalist and railroad builder who established the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, often referred to as the Santa Fe or AT&SF, was one of the larger railroads in the United States. The railroad was chartered in February 1859 to serve the cities of Atchison and Topeka, Kansas, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. One of the developments cited in the film is the new butt welded rails being installed along the ATSF: "the Santa Fe of yesterday has been rebuilt from the ground up. The days of fifty and sixty pound rail are long gone, and even the heavier rail which replaced it is now itself being replaced by rails a hundred and thirty pounds or more..." (2:30). The film also cites CTC, the centralized traffic control form of railway signalling, better, automatic coupling systems, This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA.
