2022 ANNUAL SAFETY REFRESHER TRAINING
The Annual Safety Refresher Training for 2022 has been post-poned indefinitely.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Born in May 1944, the AT&SF 2926 ran a million miles in the American Southwest before being retired in an Albuquerque City park in 1956.   Around 3:44 PM Saturday July 24th, 2021 - for the first time since the locomotive was taken out of service 65 years ago - 2926 moved under her own steam power again.   It was a red letter day for all the restoration crew, donors and fans who have supported the restoration effort these past 22 years since her purchase for $1 from the city in 1999.   Today, the NMSL&RHS Society places her value at over $3.5M.


A LOVE AFFAIR WITH BIG BOY'S TOYS
RESTORING THE 2926

by John Taylor

Back by popular demand, we made another limited color run of "A LOVE AFFAIR WITH BIG BOY'S TOYS"!   The saga of the restoration of the AT&SF 2926 is a photo rich history of the work of the NMSL&RHS volunteers.   From moving her out of Coronado Park in June 2000 to the first few steam powered turns of the drivers the book is illustrated with hundreds of photographs.   A full color edition is available for $55 + S&H.   Orders can be made on-line below via PayPal (no need to be a PayPal member).  Get 'em while they're hot!

Feel free to Email Rick Marsden (rmarsden@nmslrhs.org) for status or more information.
