Nostalgia & History > ATSF 1010 2-6-2 Prairie built by Baldwin in 1901

ATSF 1010 2-6-2 Prairie built by Baldwin in 1901 as a 4-cyl. Vulcain compound and simplified in the 1920s.  Now in Sacramento.  Photo taken in March 1972

Roger Puta took this at Redondo Jct. in Los Angeles, CA.  Santa Fe 2-6-2 #1010 is the only surviving locomotive that participated in "Death Valley" Scotty's record-breaking run across the Santa Fe system in 1905, and was later used in Ronald Reagan's "Death Valley Days" recreation of the Scott Special.
