Hi, my name is Bob Cheatham and that's my wife Sheryl. My grandfather devoted his career to the Santa Fe Railway in Kansas, and I inherited his love of trains. Long before I fell in love with Sheryl, I had already fallen for the Southern Pacific and its Coast Line. This website is my attempt to keep the SP and coast shortlines alive for future railfans.

I hope you enjoy the site, and if you have photos to share, I hope you'll consider letting me post them here.

God bless,
