When we arrived there was a crew to greet us. We were given a detailed hands on tour. We climbed all through the cab and around the the set. Wonderful information and nice and unusual items to purchase. Will be going again.
Wow! Only open to the public on Wednesday and Saturday but a stunning renovation/ labor of love by dedicated railway and steam locomotive enthusiasts. This 1,000,000lb (yes, 1 million pound) behemoth will soon come back to life, in all its glory. Reckon a good hour here and do stop by the really good gift store...
Awesome visit! This place got me goosebumps, hats off to the people working there. A gentleman gave us a very knowledgeable tour of locomotive from its history to their efforts to make it run again! It was very kind of them to offer us water and make us stand in the shade whenever he feels that the explanation will be longer.I recommend this place 100% and request people to do a small donation to preserve history!
Fascinating altogether a very ambitious project good luck to all the volunteers involved in making this become reality.
Great piece of historic machinery! Restoration crew is doing a fantastic job to bring 2926 back to life!
A great bunch of guys and gals working on something they love. Very dedicated group.
If you love steam locos, this is a great place to visit. A great group of folks there with first hand knowledge if the restoration and Santa Fe steam.
OMG, I loved this event it was very busy but it was Super Neat. It was so informative and just had a great vibe and crowd. Ill be returning to show support any time I hear about them. Please Donate and help these guys out, the state deserves this piece of treasure from our past...
I love old trains & this is a must see piece of rail road history!
Awesome ATSF steam engine being rebuilt by volunteers. Great tour of engine.Worth seeing
If you like trains or mechanical items, this is an absolute must see. Everyone there is very welcoming and happy to share about the train. Highly recommend visiting.
The volunteer engineers at the NMLS are doing amazing work on their train and are enthusiastic to share their progress with anyone that wants to visit!We were in town and had some time to spend before our flight and thought wed pop by to look at a train - we didnt expect to receive a detailed tour and explanation of all the myriad parts of how this beautiful train works! We left extremely impressed and look forward to coming back and seeing their progress soon.
Fascinating if you like history and steam loco
We have gone three years now for their annual fundraiser. Great day out!
Great stop for all ages. The staff is of the highest caliber.
Loved this tour. We found it on the Explore Activities nearby on the map app. Were glad that we decided to check it out. It was definitely worth our time. It was fun and interesting.
Amazing staff and awesome train. I will be coming back again soon. I love trains.
Awesome in detail tour of the locomotive. The volunteers were welcoming and chock full of information about the train, and its history. A must-do for ABQ.
What fun to be able to just be near this enormous machine. I am waiting to see it under full steam. Better yet, I am going to try and get tickets when it is certified and fully operational, if at all possible.
The people there were very informative .they explained about steam engines great experience
Historic and informative. Nice tour guides that drove the old locomotives.
2926 is history. I had a unique opportunity to witness its restoration. I can only wish the volunteers much success in its rebirth. Godspeed to all on this endeavor. Anyone, regardless of age could appreciate this work in progress.
You have to be interested in steam engines but this is a very interesting visit. They are working on restoring a latest technology steam engine circa 1944. The people couldnt have been nicer or more helpful. It was a great visit.
Very cool place and program. They have people who give you a tour to explain the parts and the process of restoring the steam engine. Defiantly recommend.
Excellent restoration of steam train SF 2926
People were very nice
The locomotive weighs 1 million pounds. Volunteers have been working 2 days per week for 18 years to restore it. They let you climb up into the cab, there are photos and explanations of the heat exchanger, the pistons, wheels, etc.
Did the piñon express with albuquerque trolley tours! An experience my 5 year old won’t soon forget! Meeting Santa and mrs Claus on a snowy winter night in a steam locomotive
Amazing!! I took my grandkids and they loved it.
I stopped by to visit. Received a tour with a thorough explanation of work accomplished and work to be done. This locomotive looks amazing to say the least.
Woooow!!!! What an experience! All run by passionate volunteers giving nonstop tours and answering questions! It was such a great experience and a beautiful train!
A lot of smart people there and you can feel theyre passionate. I learned quite a bit about steam locomotives, and theyre a lot more complicated that I thought
Wonderful place had fun at the train event, we learned so much. Thank you
Historic Santa Fe steam locomotive 2926 is being restored by a dedicated group of volunteers, and they are open on Wednesdays and Saturdays for tours. Admission is free, and donations are appreciated and important to finish the restoration. After 12 years of work, the group plans to have steam in the boiler in 2015. Seeing the giant locomotive, and the interesting restoration work being done by the volunteers makes for a visit with historical and educational values.

Fascinating project. Volunteers happy to happy to show you around. Locomotive 2924 is the centrepiece
Really cool place to visit. Lots of information to learn too. The more questions you ask the better on the free tour.
Very cool. Tour guide was very informative & I left a lot more knowledgeable on steam locomotives. Will be sure to return again once fully running.
Very cool up close and personal viewing of a huge stream locomotive. Helpful staff and restoration workers are eager to answer questions.
These guys are doing great work! Seeing an old steam locomotive come back to life is awesome to watch. Cant wait to see it running again!
Excellent place to visit to see what it really takes to bring back big steam to the public, as maintain it once it is done.
