Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in the AT&SF No. 940 Relocation, Preservation & Improvement Project.
    The goal of this project is to:
  • Showcase this rare railway artifact alongside rails she once traveled
  • Cosmetically restore various components of No. 940
  • Tell the story of No. 940, the Bartlesville Santa Fe Depot and the railroads
  • Complete a significant historic preservation project

    • This project will also:
  • Enhance the beautiful 100 year-old Bartlesville Santa Fe Depot
  • Attract more visitors to the Visitor Information Center at the Santa Fe Depot
  • Improve the western gateway to Downtown Bartlesville

    • The AT&SF No. 940 was purchased by the City of Bartlesville for $1.00 in 1956 to save her from the scrap heap. The Bartlesville Rotary Club was instrumental in bringing her to Bartlesville. She was transported by rail to historic Johnstone Park in 1956. In December 2009, thanks to generous private donors, No. 940 was lifted and transported back to the Santa Fe Depot in time for the depot's 100th birthday.

    We invite you read more about the AT&SF No. 940 and help us add to our knowledge of this "Workhorse" steam locomotive and Bartlesville's railway history.

    We appreciate your financial contributions. Let's fire up that boiler full of donations and and restore the AT&SF No. 940 at the
    Santa Fe Depot!
