From 03/23/1996 at Orlando, KY on the former L&N. Looks quite like a model railroad mountain, doesn't it?
Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe 3759 was built in 1928. Its regular service was pulling passenger trains on the Santa Fe's main line through Kingman AZ, which was a water stop until being retired in 1953. The Santa Fe donated the locomotive to the city of Kingman in 1957 where it is displayed today just off of route 66.
It's remarkably well preserved. That dry desert climate probably helps. It's also free of graffiti, a rare and pleasing sight these days.
