My great, great uncle Robert F. McKee, Sr., was a design engineer at Baldwin and he would give my father different Baldwin Locomotive Works builder's cards when my father would visit him in Collingswood, New Jersey. This beautiful 2-10-4, number 5000, was built for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. According to the specifications listed on the back of the builder's card, this engine and tender had a total weight of 880,100 lbs., and it had a tractive force of 93,000 lbs. In my Father's train watching journal, he wrote that on Sunday, August 1, 1948, he saw ATSF 5024, 5028, and 5033 up in Abo, Canyon, New Mexico, and one of his favorite locomotives was the Santa Fe 2-10-4. This Baldwin Locomotive Works builders photo card is from the John R. Doughty collection.
