Today the road serves a territory from Chicago to California. The name Santa Fe was added because the ambition of the officials was to build it to Santa Fe, New Mexico. When the name was given to this railroad Atchison and Topeka, Kansas were the termini. It was named for rthe city where the disciples were first called Christians (Acts II:26). The old Bone Hill Church (q.v.), which was organized in 1856, was reported in 1866 as the Antioch Baptist Church.

The road combined with the eastern road, the Baltimore and Ohio, and the name it bears at present was given. The names were givwn for the original termini, Chicago and Alton, Illinois. Originally the road in this section was known as the Chicago and Alton. The name is derived from the fact that the branch of the railroad from Kansas City to Independence is very straight-direct as an air line.
