This book shows the details inside and out of these locomotives.

The Texas class locomotives were designed for fast freight service across

Texas and the desert southwest. They came about in 3 different orders

across the years from 1938 to 1944. The Madame Queen which was locomotive #5000 is not counted here as a separate order because it was a trial and

many changes were made to that experimental unit. This locomotive was the

lead unit in the final order of 25 units of this class the Santa Fe placed

and were built in 1944 as oil burners instead of coal. Built by Baldwin

Locomotive Works shops in Philadelphia, PA these huge locomotives

weighed in at  999,000 lbs., just 1,000 pounds less than 1 million pounds

and when they passed, the earth moved and trembled in their presence.

In addition to the cab views, there are plenty of views of all the

details of this locomotive including the 74" diameter drivers

which were the largest ever applied to 2-10-4 type locomotives.
