Does anyone out there know of a source that would have the dates that specific AT&SF steam locomotives were retired? I am trying to track down when 2-8-0 #810 and 4-4-2 #1446 bit the dust. Thanks Jason Midyette |

I believe these dates are in the book "Iron Horses of the Santa Fe Trail" by Worley. I would start there. |

HI All 2-8-0's were scraped by 1954 , and all 4-4-2's were gone by 1953 , according to the book , Santa Fe Steel Rails Through California by Donald Duke & Stan Kistler. |

Of the 2-8-0's in the 789 class (engines 789-823), all were gone by 1954, except number 811 was preserved. No AT&SF 4-4-2's survived. Les |

Thank you all. 810's main drive wheel set and 1446's oil burning controls still exist on 811, on display in Atchison KS. I was trying to figure out when 811 might have acquired these parts. Jason Midyette |

As far as ATSF 2-8-0 types, didn't a NM outfit called Albuquerque & Cerrilos Coal buy a pair of them? I think that they operated into the late 50's and survived. I believe that one of them was 769. |

One of the 2-8-0s is now on display as part of a railroad exhibit in the Santa Fe Springs (Calif.) Heritage Park. This is ATSF #870. Here are links to some photos on Flickr: Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 |
