Madame Queen
Now located at 2nd and Lincoln St in downtown Amarillo, this prototype 2-10-2 Texas locomotive was especially built for the Plains Division of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1930 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA. Designed to haul heavy freight at a fast pace, she retired from service in November 1953 after running over 1,750,000 miles.
Santa Fe donated the Queen to the City of Amarillo in 1957 and placed her in front of the Santa Fe Depot, where she remained for over 48 years. She was relocated to her current location in 2005 and the move was featured in the Mega Movers series of The History Channel.
Outdoor display.
