Mike Martin. He was Santa Fe's public/media relations guy for the SoCal area from about the mid 1980s into the 90s. He was a tremendous help and asset to those of us in the rail publishing field as well as an outstanding photographer. He arranged and executed some of the most memorable company photo shoots on Cajon and elsewhere. One of those rare p.r. guys who could actually talk the talk to knowledgeable fans as well as to the general media, well versed in railway operations, technology, and geography, unlike so many who hold that position today. Mike may possibly have been the last true, official "Santa Fe Railway Photographer" to earn company pay while framing shots on Cajon.
