Overview
The ATSF railroad introduced the first 2-10-4 steamer in 1919, when they experimented with a 4-wheel trailing truck on a 2-10-2 engine. However, it was not until 1930 that they accepted shipment of a genuine 2-10-4 Texas engine built for them by Baldwin. Number 5000, the "Madame Queen," as the Santa Fe's employees dubbed this monster, weighed in at 502,600 pounds and generated 95,584 pounds of tractive effort. Later ATSF Texas-class engines were even larger and boasted enormous 74-inch drivers. The Texas engines that did not begin as oil burners were eventually converted. The 2-10-4s performed very well in heavy freight service, and the Santa Fe ultimately purchased 36 of the engines, which helped carry World War II tonnage. M.T.H. presents this grand locomotive as a beautifully detailed, die-cast Premier model, with a long list of impressive features.
