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:
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces; what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
