    I think it is nice that 3751 and 2926 are both in steam again in California and New Mexico.

    Fun fact: Pentrex was there to film the moving of 3751 in 1986.

      Was "Pentrex" there? or was there a guy with a camera there who later sold his footage to Pentrex?

    #3751 was the 1st Santa Fe 4-8-4 locomotive, build by Baldwin in 1927.

      Not just the first Santa Fe 4-8-4 but the first 4-8-4 ever ordered by any railroad, and the first one built by Baldwin.
      ALCO beat Baldwin to the punch with their NP A class, however 3751 herself was already well into construction when the first A was delivered. Interestingly while ALCO built the initial 4-8-4s for Northern Pacific, their more iconic 4-8-4s - the A2 thru A5 classes, were actually built by Baldwin, making them closer related to 3751 than their own sisters.
      On the AT&SF 3751 and her sisters were referred to as "Heavy Mountains" - in reference to the fact that 3751 was originally designed as a 3700 class 4-8-2 with an elongated firebox and extra trailing truck.
      Similarly their 4-6-4s were known as "Heavy Pacifics" rather than Hudsons for much the same reason - they were designed upwards from a 4-6-2, rather than copied from another railroad's design.

    Sold for a penny is crazy! And 2926 was sold for a dollar! HOW MUCH WOULD AT&SF 5000 COST?

      I thought 3751 was also sold for a dollar?
