Construction information for the \n\tAlbuquerque shops comes from: “Great Work Being Done on Machine Shops,” \n\tAlbuquerque Journal, March 14, 1915, Section 2, p, 5, cols. 1-7; “New \n\tStorehouse at Albuquerque, a Model of Efficiency,” Santa Fe (Employees) \n\tMeRezine, 9, no. 12 (November 1915), pp. 55-58; “Construction Notes,” Santa \n\tFe Magazine, all issues from 7, no, 3 (February, 1913) through 9, no, 11 \n\t(October, 1915); Sanborn Map Company, “Sanborn Insurance Maps of \n\tAlbuquerque, New Mexico,” 1919, 1924, 1931; Henry Bender Jr., The \n\tAlbuquerque Shops of the Santa Fe,” The New Mexico Railroader, 6, no. 8 \n\t(August, 1964), pp. 1-7; C.F.W. Felt, <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Standard High Type Reinforced Concrete \n\tEngine House,” architectural plans, May, 1914; C.F.W, Felt, “Plans of 35 \n\tStall Roundhouse at Albuquerque,” architectural plans, May 22, 1916; E,A. \n\tHarrison, “AT&SF Machine Shop, Albuquerque,” 17 sheets of architectural \n\tAugust:12, 1920; E.A. Harrison, “AT&SF Boiler Shop,” 10 \n\tsheets of architectural plans, Chicago, June 30, 1922; A.F. Robinson, ‘_’Tender Repair \n\tShop,” structural plan, October, 1924; E.A. Aarrison, “Tender Repair Shop,” \n\t3 sheets of architectural plans, Chicago, March, 1925. The conjecture that \n\tthe new Topeka locomotive shops were built before those in Albuquerque is \n\tbased on a photograph of the interior of the Topeka works in Joseph Snell \n\tand Don Wilson, Birth of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, (Topeka: \n\tKansas State Historical Society, 1968), p. 60, which shows the tracks and \n\tthe overhead crane aligned in same direction; this type of arrangement was \n\toften used before World War I, but was superseded in the 192Os industrial \n\tdesign by cross axial planning (i,e, tracks and cranes perpendicular to each \n\tother) which was employed at the main Albuquerque shops (1920-22). William \n\tParr (Architect, Western Lines, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway), \n\tAmarillo, Texas, interviewed July 28, 1986, stated that the shops at \n\tCleburne, Texas were virtually identical to those at Albuquerque, therefore, \n\tmy surmise that they were built about the same time. Bryant, p, 250, states \n\tthat the San Bernardino shops were expanded in 1926. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. See note 4 for construction information.\n\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10.
