Hair Curlers? When Santa Fe Industries gets rolling, railroading will become an increasingly smaller part of the whole operation. Santa Fe, through subsidiaries, is already active in real estate, oil production, pipelines, plywood manufacture and even air freight. And as Reed is fond of pointing out, the line's most profitable venture on the basis of return on investment is the Golden Gate Fields race track outside San Francisco, where Santa Fe as the property owner receives both rents and a share of the parimutuels.

"I came here because things are better," a woman from Lebanon, Miss., told me. Many expect to stay permanently. But so far, life in the plywood A-frame shelters has hardly been uplifting--materially or spiritually. It is uncomfortable and boring. People are going home.
