Santa Fe 3415 is a class 3400 4-6-2 "Pacific" type steam locomotive built in 1919 by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Retired in 1954, it sat in Eisenhower Park in Abilene, Kansas until April 1996. At that point, it was donated by the City of Abilene and put on display in the Abilene and Smoky Valley yard. Restoration began in 2005 and was completed in early 2009. It is planned for the locomotive to operate about once a month during the normal operating season. Its first revenue trip was on May 23, 2009.[1]^:9 Today, No. 3415 is owned and operated by the Abilene and Smoky Valley Railroad in Abilene, Kansas.
