Santa Fe Railway Collection – HURLEY MAIN COLLECTION L. M. “Mike” Hurley had 44 years with the Santa Fe Railroad. After his retirement, he served as the Assistant Director of the Harvey County Historical Museum (HCHM) and was instrumental in gathering the Santa Fe Railway Collection for the Harvey County Historical Society. At his death in January, 2001 his pictures, paper collectibles, railroad books and railroad memorabilia came to the museum per his wishes. Mike enjoyed sharing his knowledge about the Santa Fe. Hurley provided Jane Jones (HCHM Archivist) with descriptions and explanations of the vast amount of material that was sorted. Mike's wife Shirley helped him catalog his own collection. His lasting railway legacy was the book he authored, “Newton Kansas #1 Santa Fe Rail Hub 1871-1971.” L. M.
