The California, Arizona and Santa Fe Railway was a non-operating subsidiary (paper railroad) of Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF). It was incorporated in 1911, and was merged into the ATSF in 1963.[1]
California, Arizona and Santa Fe would ultimately be absorbed by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway.
