AT&SF 2926 hits the rails in Albuquerque! + AMTK 203 on the southwest chief
On May 6th, 2023 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the restoration crew of AT&SF 2926 brought the locomotive out for a little test run. It’s such a huge milestone for the project that has been going on for over 20 years.

I was in Albuquerque on vacation in 1988 and took a selfish beside the 2926 when it was in Coronado Park. Never thought it would be steaming again.

Welcome new excursion star. ATSF #2926 is alive again. ATSF #2926 steams again. Cant wait to see you on the mainline ATSF #2926.

@thomasavensjr.2790 Жыл бұрын

Very glad to see that this locomotive is back in operational service, ATSF 2926 is now the largest 4-8-4 type locomotive in operation now & this is indicated by the ATSF 2900 class weight measurements. Hopefully later on this year the 2926 will have a chance to haul passenger excursion trains across the southwestern USA territory so that it can stretch it's driving wheels.

@hawkeyeten2450 11 ай бұрын

The 2900s are ridiculously huge for 4-8-4s. If the measurements I've read are correct, 2926 is actually larger than Union Pacific's (soon to be restored) 2-10-2 5511 in most aspects. I can't even imagine what the 5000-class 2-10-4s must have been like in operation. Santa Fe just managed to run utterly massive nonarticulated engines.

Many want 3751 to doublehead with this 2926, But 3751 has a mechanical problem with the small tender with only 2 of the 6 wheel trucks!! Thus: switch to LARGER tenders with another 2900 4-8-4; or possibly use the tender of the (3) 5011 series 2-10-4 TEXAS CLASS: Because: 5011 is in St Louis; 5017 is at Green Bay; and, 5030 is by Sacremento.
