State transfer is a well-known routine for various systems of spins-1/2. Still, it is not well studied for chains of spins of larger magnitudes. In this contribution we argue that while perfect state transfer may seem unnatural in spin-1 systems, it is still feasible for arrays of V-type three-level atoms. Tomography of such 1D array is also shown to be possible by acting on one atom from such an array.
