- AT&SF 2926 hits the rails in Albuquerque! + AMTK 203 on the southwest chief
On May 6th, 2023 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the restoration crew of AT&SF 2926 brought the locomotive out for a little test run. It’s such a huge milestone for the project that has been going on for over 20 years.

Santa Fe is Back in Business.
It’s always a day worth celebrating when a locomotive comes to life like this. Great documentation as always!
Thank you!
Contrats to the 2926 people! Nice work!
I was in Albuquerque on vacation in 1988 and took a selfish beside the 2926 when it was in Coronado Park. Never thought it would be steaming again.
i remember when it was there, i never passed it that it didn't hurt a little seeing it so forlorn and dejected. then one day it was gone.
Amazing steam
Good video!
This was an awesome day. Amazing shots too!
It sure was! Thank you :)
People call Railfans "foamers" because we get so Excited!!!!!! But at 6:31, man with camera 📷 should be a "GLAZER!" just stumbling by with glassy eyes 👀 😍 and walking in front of our camera 📷 😳.....REMEMBER!!: "SAFETY FIRST 1ST!! O.K.!! HI 👋!! M. FB.26. 2024A.D.
Great video! Hah also you can see me sprint into the site
Thank you! Your pretty quick haha! Hope you got some good shots :)
@@waysiderailfan i sure did and to give a little sneak peek i had a camera in the cab during the move.
Wonderful machine! Love the folding chimney!
Now thats a steam locomotive!
Very glad to see that this locomotive is back in operational service, ATSF 2926 is now the largest 4-8-4 type locomotive in operation now & this is indicated by the ATSF 2900 class weight measurements. Hopefully later on this year the 2926 will have a chance to haul passenger excursion trains across the southwestern USA territory so that it can stretch it's driving wheels.
The 2900s are ridiculously huge for 4-8-4s. If the measurements I've read are correct, 2926 is actually larger than Union Pacific's (soon to be restored) 2-10-2 5511 in most aspects. I can't even imagine what the 5000-class 2-10-4s must have been like in operation. Santa Fe just managed to run utterly massive nonarticulated engines.
Delighted Thanks ❤ 🎉
Welcome new excursion star. ATSF #2926 is alive again. ATSF #2926 steams again. Cant wait to see you on the mainline ATSF #2926.
2:45, I think this would be how SP 4449 would sound like if she still had her 6 chime whistle today
02:35 That's what I'm talking about!
I knew I shoulda toined left here !
I bet most people all around town besides the railfans heard that loud whistle
Probably! I’d say the whistle is much louder than normal train horns.
@@waysiderailfan looks like the SD70ACEs horn now is getting a run for its money as the SD70ACE has the loudest horn I've ever heard
Didn’t know 2926 had a boxpok driver
Tbh, 2926's 6 chime whitstle sounds similar to Nkp 765's current Nathan 6 chime
I bet too the engine will be fitted with Positive Train Control
I think it already has. I may be wrong though
0:52
I agree
I've never seen a steam locomotive with a retractable funnel (what you Americans call the "smokestack"), what is the purpose of that?
It's to aid in smokebox drafting , also aids in the same sence as smoke lifters .....
Can anybody tell me when the '26 will hit the main?
It’s hard to say, as far as I know the locomotive is ready. They are just waiting for permission from BNSF.
Does anyone agree that this train should meet up with 3751.
That would be pretty cool!
Did they convert her to oil or leave her coal burning?
She is running on oil now.
Many want 3751 to doublehead with this 2926, But 3751 has a mechanical problem with the small tender with only 2 of the 6 wheel trucks!! Thus: switch to LARGER tenders with another 2900 4-8-4; or possibly use the tender of the (3) 5011 series 2-10-4 TEXAS CLASS: Because:
5011 is in St Louis;
5017 is at Green Bay; and,
5030 is by Sacremento.
Ok!! LET'S GO NOW!!!!!
FRI. MARCH 22, 2024A.D.!!
