Steam and Early Locomotives

Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway No. 3759 is a 3751 class 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive built in 1928 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, which called its 4-8-4 engines Heavy Mountain or New Mountain types. It was delivered as a coal-burning passenger locomotive with 73-inch drivers, was converted to oil in 1936 and was rebuilt between 1938 and 1941 with 80-inch drivers. It pulled passenger trains on the main line through Kingman, Arizona, until its retirement in 1953 after more than 2,585,000 miles. It was brought out of retirement for the Farewell to Steam excursion from Los Angeles to Barstow in February 1955, then donated to the city of Kingman in 1957. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, it is displayed in Locomotive Park in Kingman.
