Has been placed on the
National Register of Historic Railroad Landmarks
This plaque is to commemorate the centennial of the construction of Pacific type (4-6-2) steam locomotive #3417. It was delivered to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company in 1919 and assigned to Cleburne Passenger Service for most of its 35 years and two million miles of active operation. The engine was retired by the Santa Fe and donated to the city in 1955. Placed in Cleburne's Hulen Park, #3417 has been visited, admired and photographed for 65 years.

During its years of active service the locomotive was operated by Cleburne based crews and serviced, maintained and overhauled in the Santa Fe shops at Cleburne. Hundreds of area AT&SF employees had roles in the life of #3417. We thank and honor them all.
