Santa Fe 2926

Steam and Early Locomotives

Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe 2926 is a 2900 class 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive built in May 1944 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. It hauled passenger and fast freight trains, mostly in New Mexico, until its last revenue run on 24 December 1953, after more than a million miles. In 1956 the railway donated it to the City of Albuquerque for static display. In 1999 the New Mexico Steam Locomotive and Railroad Historical Society bought it for $1.00 and restored it, and in 2021 it moved under its own power for the first time in almost 70 years. It is the heaviest 4-8-4 in the world.
