This black-and-white photograph shows Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway No. 1964, a 2-8-0 Consolidation freight locomotive, posed with freight cars and a crewman leaning from the cab.
Built by Baldwin in 1907, No. 1964 was already 41 years old by 1948. The locomotive belonged to Santa Fe’s 1950 class, a group of 42 Consolidations known for dependable freight service during the railroad’s steam era.
Visible details include:
* Locomotive number 1964
* AT&SF lettering
* Numbered tender
* Running gear
* Bell and headlight
* Freight cars
* Railroad crewman in the cab
A University of Wyoming archival inventory documents AT&SF No. 1964 at San Bernardino, California, in 1948. The locomotive and setting in this photograph are consistent with that record.
Because the reverse is uncaptioned, the location and date are offered as probable rather than conclusively established.
The reverse is otherwise plain except for collection number 28. The photographer, printing date, print generation and original-negative status are unknown.
