AHS Pioneer Museum Locomotive #12 2-6-6-2

此輛12號機車從1929年開始在奧勒岡紅木森林的哈蒙德木材公司服務,Baldwin Locomotive Works在設計製造這輛火車時使用關節式設計(2-6-6-2)使得它能夠更小的半徑。後來西南木材公司在1956年購買這輛機車,並在1959年轉移至Flagstaff及移開水箱。然後在1960年退休並捐給Coconino County。最後The Arizona Historical Society (AHS) 在1987年將這輛買下。
In 1929, Locomotive #12 began work in Oregon's redwood forests for Hammond Lumber Company. Baldwin Locomotive Works manufactured and designed the locomotive as an articulated tanker, allowing it to make tighter turns than other locomotives. Southwest Lumber Mills purchased #12 in 1956, relocating it to Flagstaff. In 1959, the company removed its tanks and then in 1960, retired the locomotive due and donated it to Coconino County. The Arizona Historical Society (AHS) acquired Locomotive #12 in 1987. AHS purchased Caboose #99945 in 1988 from the Santa Fe Railroad and placed it near the locomotive, even though logging companies stopped using cabooses in 1920. The pair remained at the Fort Tuthill Fairgrounds until 1994, when AHS relocated them to their present location at the Pioneer Museum.

Southwest Lumber Mills #25 Steam Locomotive

這輛蒸汽機車由BALDWIN LOCOMOTIVE WORKS在1911年1月出廠,製造序號為35938。原服務於Southwest Lumber Mills,後來在1995年由Flagstaff買下並陳列在Flagstaff車站旁展示。

Santa Fe 3759 Steam Locomotive

Santa Fe 3759是一輛標準軌 4-8-4 Northern type的蒸汽機車由Baldwin在1928年製造,目前展示於Kingman的鐵道公園,而這個鐵道公園因為這輛機車在1957年捐給Kingman來紀念Kingman的歷史而設立的。
這輛機車原始設計為燃煤及73-inch驅動輪,後來在1936年改燃油並加大驅動輪至80-inch。這輛機車主要用來拉運客車並行駛通過kingman的Santa Fe主線,而kingman設有加水設施。最後在1953退役,此時蒸汽機車已經行駛超過2,585,000英哩了。
在1955年2月此輛機車因為南加州鐵道協會的邀請而短暫復出,主題為"再見蒸汽火車",這一趟行程安排在1955年2月6日行駛於Los Angeles Union Station與Barstow, California之間。活動結束後保存在倉庫直到捐給kingman。
在1991年時大峽谷鐵道提議要修復Santa Fe 3759並用他們的19號蒸汽機車交換,並行使在洛杉磯與Williams之間,但後來委員會否決而束之高閣了。
Santa Fe 3759 is a standard gauge 4-8-4, Northern type, steam railway locomotive built by Baldwin in 1928. It is on display in Locomotive Park, located between Andy Devine Avenue and Beale Street in Kingman, Arizona. The park was established in August 1957 with AT&SF 3759 donated to the City of Kingman in recognition of Kingman's history with the railroad. The locomotive erroneously is termed a Mountain type on the nearby information plaque, and also in the City's descriptive material.
3759 was delivered in 1928 as a 3751 class "Northern" 4-8-4 passenger locomotive. Originally a coal-burning locomotive with 73-inch drivers, the fleet was converted to oil in 1936 and rebuilt between 1938 and 1941 with 80-inch drivers. Its regular service was pulling passenger trains on the Santa Fe's main line through Kingman, which was a water stop. Retired in 1953, the engine had traveled over 2,585,000 miles.
In February 1955, 3759 was brought out of retirement at the request of the Railway Club of Southern California for a special excursion run, dubbed "Farewell to Steam." This special ran on February 6, a round trip between Los Angeles Union Station and Barstow, California with stops in Pasadena and San Bernardino and was the last Santa Fe revenue steam train to leave Los Angeles and to traverse Cajon Pass. After this trip, 3759 went back into storage, until Santa Fe donated the locomotive to the city of Kingman in 1957.
The locomotive was added to the National Register of Historic Places as AT & SF Locomotive in 1986, reference number 86001113. In 1987 caboose 999520 was retired and donated to Kingman to be added behind 3759. The residents of Kingman pulled the locomotive forward 30 ft (9.1 m) to make room for the caboose. In January 1991, Grand Canyon Railway owner Max Biegert sent a letter to Kingman city officials of his proposal to lease AT&SF 3759 to operation and donate his engine No. 19 to the city. 3759 would have run in the Grand Canyon Railway and an "Orient Express"-styled train between Los Angeles and Williams, Arizona. The community reacted negatively to the plan and it did not go forward.

大峽谷鐵道 4960號蒸汽機車 Grand Canyon Railway #4960

4960號蒸汽機車於1923年Baldwin Locomotive Works製造並於Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad用來於美國中西部間載運鐵礦砂等貨物列車,後來在1960年退休。在1970年代早期作為靜態展示。大峽谷鐵道在1989年將這輛機車買下並展開長時間的修復工作,並將原先燒煤改成燒柴油,到2009年進一步改成燃燒回收廢棄植物油。從2009年起4960號蒸汽機車成為大峽谷鐵道的主幹蒸氣車輛。
Steam Locomotive No. 4960 was built in 1923 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and saw service on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad hauling iron ore and other freight throughout the American Mid-West. Retired from CB&Q RR in 1960, it pulled excursion trains, museum trains, and circus trains throughout Wisconsin and other mid-western States until the early 1970’s when it was put on static display. Purchased by Grand Canyon Railway in 1989, in 1996 No. 4960 underwent one of the most extensive locomotive rebuilding and restoration projects in modern history, converting it from a coal-burner to burn diesel as fuel. Further modifications were made to it in 2009, as GCR converted it to run on recycled Waste Vegetable Oil. Since 2009, No. 4960 has served as the backbone of our steam fleet, powering all of our steam excursions and round-trip trains to Grand Canyon. Due to its popularity, No. 4960 has taken its place as an icon among operational steam locomotives in the United States.

SHAY型蒸汽機車 / Shay Steam Locomotives

SHAY型蒸汽機車曾經是最廣泛使用的齒輪蒸氣機車,這些蒸汽機車是依照Ephraim Shay的專利來製造,而這位專利發明人造就世界上最普遍的齒輪蒸氣機車概念。雖然早期一些蒸汽機跟後來的有明顯的不同,但明確地他們屬於同一類型蒸汽機車。
從1878至1945年之間大約有2770台SHAY型蒸汽機車被製造及銷售出去,其車輛重量從最小6噸到最大160噸。
The Shay locomotive was the most widely used geared steam locomotive. The locomotives were built to the patents of Ephraim Shay, who has been credited with the popularization of the concept of a geared steam locomotive. Although the design of Ephraim Shay's early locomotives differed from later ones, there is a clear line of development that joins all Shays.
Approximately 2770 Shay locomotives were built by Lima in four classes, from 6 to 160 tons between 1878 and 1945.

謝伊式蒸汽機車(Shay locomotive)是使用最廣泛的齒輪傳動式蒸汽機車,乃根據伊伏倫·謝伊(Ephraim Shay)的專利所製造。初期的設計與後來的機車有所不同,但謝伊式蒸汽機車的發展仍有其一貫的脈絡。此型車為LIMA直立汽缸蒸汽機車的Class C形式,特徵為三直立汽缸及三組動力轉向架(Trucks),重量在40和160噸之間。
