New Mexico Steam Locomotive and Railroad Historical Society

 

The New Mexico Steam Locomotive & Railroad Historical Society (NMSL&RHS) is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization preserving the history of New Mexico’s railway. NMSL&RHS recently restored an Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe 2926, 4-8-4 steam locomotive that was originally built in 1944 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. The 2926 locomotive is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is recognized by the state’s legislature as the Official Steam Locomotive of New Mexico.

 

The NMSL&RHS restoration site is open to the public for free tours (weather permitting) every Wednesday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Large group tours can be made by appointment any day by calling 505-246-2926. Visit our website for more information.
