Old #3759 is permanently parked in the historic district of downtown Kingman, Arizona. The morning Sun was was shining bright directly above the engine as I stood in front, giving it a halo glow...
Kingman Arizona is home to the famed steam engine #3759. It was built in 1928 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Eddystone, PA. Engine No. 3759 is a Northern-type coal burning steam locomotive and ran passengers between Los Angeles and Kansas City for more than 20 years.
It was retired by the Santa Fe Railroad with a total of 2,585,600 miles of services. This Northern Type coal burning steam locomotive was converted to run on oil fuel in 1941. The last steam engine to traverse the line to Kingman, it was presented to the City as a historical monument in 1957 by the Santa Fe Railroad.
