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. |
