Paint schemes & markings

Not sure my experiment (displaying the names of colors in color, i.e. dark blue, yellow, etc.) works. Is there any way to make the lighter colors render so that they are readable?--Lordkinbote 09:25, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

I was just thinking that yellow is a little hard to read against a white background. I'm tempted to say that we shouldn't use colors on the text, but let me mull over the idea a little more first. B-) slambo 15:20, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

The fact that there are color photos and/or links that depicts each of the color schemes ("worth a thousand words") does make the use of colored text in this instance less necessary.--Lordkinbote 17:39, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Links removed due to blacklisting

I've removed two items from the References list that I originally added there last year. The site where the information came from has been blacklisted due to spamming. We should easily be able to verify information from the other numerous references listed here (aside: we need to work on adding inline citations to this article anyway). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam#Suite101 dot com for more information. Slambo (Speak) 17:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering if anyone is familiar with where I might find promotional items for the Santa Fe Railroad. It seems that all I can locate is posters of Railroads. Where would someone look for collector type stuff? Hope I am within the perameters of purpose of this site. I am totally new and would not be offended if I was told this is not your purpose here, but didn't know where else to start.--Intostuff214 (talk) 02:51, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P&SF

Hoi, I miss the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway in the list of merged companies. Does anyone have enough information to include it? I'm not sure when the status changed from operating to non-operating. It was certainly still an operating subsidiary in the 20ies. --Thogo (Talk) Some thoughts about enwiki 11:40, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Atchison, Kansas

Did the railroad start in Atchison, Kansas, or go there eventually? Article says it started in Topeka, not Atchison. --DThomsen8 (talk) 18:26, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the line from Atchison to Topeka was the first part that opened, still under the name Atchison and Topeka Railroad. --Thogo (Talk) 18:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected the cities. It ran from LA to Chicago and then moved to Lake Forest, IL. Added article on it as well. RalphOnTheRailroad (talk) 23:58, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
