History
No. 5017 was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1944. It entered service on July 20 of that year and was assigned to freight service between Belen, New Mexico, Waynoka, Oklahoma, and La Junta, Colorado.
Between 1953 and 1955, No. 5017 was used in extra service on the Pecos division in eastern New Mexico to supplement diesel power during the peak movement of perishables, grains, and other commodities. On July 25, 1955, No. 5017 made her last trip, tallying 755,088 miles.
No. 5017 was brought to the National Railroad Museum through the efforts of former director, Mr. W.L. Thorton, who was Director of Traffic for the Kimberly-Clark line near Fullerton, California. It was formally donated on December 27, 1959, by E. Marsh, President of the Santa Fe Railway.
