Description
the trains are in a staging area waiting to make their trip to Frisco,TX
Santa Fe FP45 97 was built in December 1967 as Santa Fe 107.
It was renumbered 5947 in March 1970 as part of the 1969/70 general renumbering.
Within a matter of weeks, it was renumbered again into the 90-class, becoming the 97.
the 97 would see a brief return to "passenger service" as it and the 95 assisted
freshly restored ATSF 4-8-4 3751 on the California Limited excursion from
Los Angeles to Bakersfield and return in December 1991.
Amtrak's takeover of Santa Fe's passenger service, and the end of 5947's
regular career as a revenue passenger locomotive, was less than a month away.
Santa Fe 97 would make its last run as the second unit on
train Z-WSPKCK9-06. It was taken out of service
at Argentine (Kansas City, KS) and stored. In December 1999,
the 97 was donated to the Age of Steam Railroad Museum,
The locomotive was shipped dead-in-tow by BNSF,
arriving at the museum on December 18, 1999.
the Museum of the American Railroad was in Dallas, TX. but it is being moved to Frisco,TX
