Santa Fe 1010

Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway No. 1010 is a 2-6-2 type[1] steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1901 for Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. It started out as a Vauclain compound locomotive before it was rebuilt into a conventional locomotive in the 1910s. It was primarily used for various passenger trains across the Southwestern United States, including the record breaking 1905 Scott Special on the segment between Needles, California, and Seligman, Arizona, before it was reassigned to freight service in the 1940s. It was retired in 1955 and was kept by the Santa Fe for several years for preservation purposes. In November 1979,[2] Santa Fe donated[3][4] No. 1010 to the California State Railroad Museum, where the locomotive resides there in Sacramento as of 2021.
