Timeline
Ernest Marsh died at home following a heart attack on October 9, 1975. He was survived by his wife, his brother, three daughters, two sons and numerous grandchildren. His remains were cremated.
Marsh finally retired from the Santa Fe on January 31, 1973, but remained as a member of the board of directors until his death. Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley appointed Marsh to a two-year term on the board of directors for the Regional Transportation Authority in June 1974.
On January 1, 1967, Marsh took another promotion, this time to become chairman of the board of directors for the railway. John Shedd Reed then succeeded Marsh as president.
In 1948 Marsh became the Santa Fe's financial vice president. Marsh ascended to the presidency of the Santa Fe on May 1, 1957, succeeding Fred G. Gurley, who had served in that position since 1944. At the same time, John Shedd Reed was named as the president's executive assistant. Marsh was named chief executive officer on May 1, 1958, and chairman of the executive committee on May 1, 1959. Marsh was not averse to spending money to help the railway's success, nor did he spurn new technology, even going so far as to suggest the use of nuclear bombs to help excavate the railway's right-of-way.
Marsh first joined the Santa Fe as a file clerk in 1918 based in Clovis, New Mexico. In a 1973 interview, he revealed that he had lied about his birthdate on his application because the minimum work age at the time was 16; his birthdate in the employee records was not corrected for another 21 years. He served in several clerk positions on the railway until becoming chief clerk at the railway's president's office in Chicago in 1942. He was then promoted in 1944 to be an assistant to the president in 1944 and executive assistant to the president in 1945.
Ernest S. Marsh (January 10, 1903 – October 9, 1975) was president of the Santa Fe Railway system from 1957 through 1966. He was instrumental in forming the railway's holding company, Santa Fe Industries, and served on the board of directors for the Regional Transportation Authority in Illinois.
Ernest Marsh was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, on January 10, 1903, to John Sterling Marsh and Hattie Savannah (Leftwich) Marsh. In 1912, his father died, which led him to the workforce to help support his family. His formal education did not last through high school, with him taking employment rather than graduating.
