ATSF 4-8-2 #2929 - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe |
| Description: |
Built by Baldwin during WWII (1944), this Northern type locomotive may be the heaviest passenger locomotive ever built since heavier steel had to be used instead of some of the less dense alloys in short supply. This Northern type locomotive had tall 80" drivers and produced a whopping 300 psi boiler pressure. The class was retired in 1959 after a short 15 years service. A J. W. Hulsman photo. |

ATSF 4-8-4 #2929 - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe |
| Description: |
Great action shot by R. P. Middlebrook of ATSF 4-8-4 #2929 heading up the Sandiegan passenger train on its way to Los Angeles. Built by Baldwin in 1944, it was one of the heaviest passenger locos built because lighter alloys were in short supply because of WW II. The loco served well until being retired in 1959 and sold for scrap to Luria Brothers. Specs - class 2900, 80" drivers, massive 300 psi, 28x32" cylinders, engine weight of 510,700 lb lb and tractive force of 66,000 lb. |

ATSF 4-8-4 #3753 - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe |
| Description: |
With a need for more powerful locomotives to handle the ever increasing passenger and freight train lengths, the Santa Fe turned to the Northern 4-8-4 configuration, named after the 1st railroad - Northern Pacific - to receive them. This 1927 Baldwin built locomotive running in the wide open expanses in this photo was an ATSF class 3751 with tall 73" drivers. It developed a boiler pressure of 210 psi and generated an impressive 66,021 lb tractive effort. Rebuilt in 1938, it would have almost all of the modern improvements making it one of the best. The class was retired in 1956-57. The date is approximate |

Good looking 4-8-4 Northern, ATSF #3756, built by Baldwin in January of 1928 (serial #60332). Since its main line stretching over 2200 miles (Chicago to California), the AT&SF had a real need for excellent motive power and used the 4-8-4 Northerns in passenger service. The loco served for nearly 28 years before being sold for scrap to George T. Cook Company on 11/20/1956. Specs - 73" drivers, impressive 230 psi boiler pressure, 30x30" cylinders, engine wegiht of 464,700 lb, tractive effort of 66,000 lb. Unknown photographer |

ATSF 4-8-4 #3759 - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe |
| Description: |
As many railfans have done before him, Jim Lockart couldn't resist taking a photo of the massive Atchison, Topkea & Santa Fe 4-8-4 #3759 still on display in a city park in Kingman, AZ. The date is based on the slide stamp so may be off a month or two. |

ATSF 4-8-4 #3774 - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe |
| Description: |
Stopped outside this small depot in the open western country, ATSF #3774 was a 1938 Baldwin built 4-8-4 "Northern" type locomotive with very high stepping 80" drivers for speed, a whopping 300 psi boiler pressure and generated a massive 79,968 lb tractive effort, making it ideal for the ATSF long hauls through the western states. During one of its overhauls, this loco was switched to burning oil, a distinct advantage out west. The class was finally retired in 1959. The date of this photo is approximate. |
