History of the 5017

The 5017 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1944, it entered service on July 20 of that year and was assigned to freight service on the Pecos division, the Mountain Division of New Mexico. The 5017 operated between Belen, New Mexico, Waynoka, Oklahoma and La Junta, Colorado.

Between 1953 and 1955, the 5017 was used in extra service on the Pecos division to supplement diesel power during the peak movement of perishables, grains, and other commodities.

On July 25, 1955 the 5017 made her last trip, tallying 755,088 miles.

The 5017 was brought to the National Railroad Museum through the efforts of former director, Mr. W.L. Thorton, who was the Director of Traffic for the Kimberly-Clark railway. ASTF 5017 was formally donated on December 27, 1959 by E. Marsh, President of the Santa Fe Railroad.
