Description:

This is Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe number 2926. To protect it from theft and vandalism, this oil-burning engine is backed into a secure shed after work is finished by the volunteers who are lovingly restoring it. This million-ton train was built and put in service in 1944. It burned oil to create steam. It had a short life. After the war ended, all railroads switched to diesel fuel, which had been reserved only for war efforts. After being on display in a local park, suffering extreme vandalism and theft, it is now nearly refurbished and ready to return to use. Some new track had to be laid, and it will rest at the old Railyard in downtown Albuquerque after taking trips around the state.
