Santa Fe Locomotive 132
is the fascinating story of the
oldest Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway steam locomotive
to be preserved.
Learn about the life of this 2-8-0 iron workhorse, from its operations on

in the late 1800s, to its second career as the "Cyrus K. Holliday" – the premier exhibition locomotive for the Santa Fe.
Also, learn about the unusual series of events that helped it elude the scrapper's torch, and its unique restoration for display today at the Kansas State Museum of History in Topeka.
