Summary

[edit]
Description
English: #3768 was outshopped from the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA, in 1938 at a cost of $178,767.17. It was one of eleven Class 3765 Northern type (4-8-4) locomotives built for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad #3765-#3775).

The 3765s were initially assigned to hauling crack passenger services, such as the Chief and Fast Mail Express between La Junta, CO, and Los Angeles, CA, and frequently ran the entire 1,234 mile trip without an engine change. After dieselisation progressed on the AT&SF, the 3765s were relegated to freight services, their last major assignment working on the Eastern Division between Argentine, KS, and Waynoka, OK. When #3768 made its last trip on 4th August 1953, it had racked up 1,779,162 miles in its 25 years service.

  1. 3768 is the only survivor of its class. It was donated to the City of Wichita, KS, in 1958 and went on display at Friends' University. In 1977, it was relocated to a site near Wichita Union Station and, in 1985, it joined the Great Plains Transportation Museum collection.
