Santa Fe's Raton Subdivision Model Railroad is dedicated to the role that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad played in developing the Great Southwest of the United States with the nation's second transcontinental railroad.
Santa Fe’s Raton Subdivision Model Railroad brings this story to life in HO scale with lifelike realism. Our video collection is designed to showcase the Santa Fe Railroad's real history with an emphasis on their need to develop extremely powerful Steam and Diesel Locomotives to get trains over Raton Pass.
Why do we have videos about AT&SF Steam Locomotive 5000 (Madame Queen)?
Madame Queen was the ultimate development of steam locomotive technology on the Santa Fe Railway. Raton Pass created the need for Madame Queen's extreme power.
The grades on SF's Raton Subdivision MR are prototypically accurate HO scale versions of the real Raton Pass grades.
