  • The Kite-Shaped Track.”
    City of San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer Society P.O. Box 875, San Bernardino, CA 92402 LIBRARY NEWS OCTOBER 2011 By Richard D. Thompson, Librarian Following is the second article by Mark Landis, freelance writer for the San Bernardino Sun. As in the case of last month’s story, this feature has pictures he submitted to the Sun that did not make it into the newspaper. “No Scene Twice Seen” On The Santa Fe Railroad’s Splendid “Kite-Shaped Track” Excursion By Mark Landis, Correspondent N the days of the great westward migration of the late 1800’s, California was promoted with splendid images and accounts that frequently exaggerated the truth. Southern California’s mild climate and diverse landscapes were regularly touted as a virtual paradise by land developers, business promoters, and especially the railroads. The railroads were the main beneficiary of the westward movement since they owned huge tracts of land and provided transportation for the migrants and their new products. In 1892, the Santa Fe Railroad began promoting the real beauty and diversity of Southern California with a special tourist route they called “The Kite-Shaped Track.” From the collection of Lee Gustafson Relief map from a Santa Fe brochure showing the route of the Kite-Shaped Track 84 The “Kite” name comes from a figure-eight style horse racing track that was popular during the era. A map of the Kite Track route looks something like an elongated figure-eight, lying horizontally. The small end of the “eight” was at the eastern end of the route known as “the Loop.” The station at San Bernardino was at the crossing of the figure eight and was the beginning and end of “the Loop.” Originally called “The Belt Line,” the Southern California Railway (owned by the Santa Fe) began operating the 166-mile tourist route in January of 1892.
