EMD FP45 - Preservation

Preservation

Those that were not wrecked in service, or sold to other railroads, are on display in museums:

  • Santa Fe 90: was donated to the Oklahoma Railway Museum in Oklahoma City in a non-operational state. #90 was the last FP45 donated by the Santa Fe and had resided on a RIP track for two years before being delivered to the museum.
  • Santa Fe 92: was donated to the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois.
  • Santa Fe 93: preserved at the Great Plains Transportation Museum in Wichita, Kansas.
  • Santa Fe 95: preserved at the Western America Railroad Museum in Barstow, California.
  • Santa Fe 97: preserved at the Museum of the American Railroad in Dallas, Texas.
  • Santa Fe 98: was donated in operating condition less the cab's air conditioner to the Orange Empire Railway Museum at Perris, California. It is still used for demonstration runs, though infrequently because of its sheer size and slightly low compression in two cylinders. This historic locomotive has the distinction of being the last passenger locomotive ever purchased by the Santa Fe. This locomotive can be rented and operated by the railroad enthusiast.

Famous quotes containing the word preservation:

    “The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    “If there is ANY THING which it is the duty of the WHOLE PEOPLE to never entrust to any hands but their own, that thing is the preservation and perpetuity, of their own liberties, and institutions.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “There is something to be said for jealousy, because it only designs the preservation of some good which we either have or think we have a right to. But envy is a raging madness that cannot bear the wealth or fortune of others.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
