steam locomotive and a representative of the railroads' contributions to the economic and cultural growth and stature of New Mexico". In January, 2018, it was reported that the restoration was nearing completion and that the locomotive could be operational by the end of the year. As of that date, NMSL&RHS members had put in 166,000 hours of volunteer labor and spent over $2.8 million on the project. On August 20, 2018, the boiler of ATSF No. 2926 was fired up for the first time in 65 years. The locomotive was scheduled for a test run on March 20, 2020, when it would move under its own power for the first time since 1953. However, that event and most other restoration efforts were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Mexico. On July 24, 2021 the No. 2926 locomotive moved under its own power for the first time in sixty-eight years. The locomotive has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 1, 2007.
