Santa Fe No. 93 Heads to Kansas City
Santa Fe Railway diesel-electric locomotive No. 93 is on its way to Mid-America Car in Kansas City, Mo., for a complete cosmetic restoration, Wichita, Kans.-based Great Plains Transportation Museum (GPTM) reported Aug. 17. Built by the Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors Corporation in late 1967, the unit was donated to the museum by BNSF in June 1999.
Following nearly two years of fundraising, the Santa Fe No. 93 restoration campaign on June 20, 2025, eclipsed the approximately $200,000 required to have the work completed.
ABOUT US
The mission of the Great Plains Transportation Museum is to preserve and convey the unique history of railroading in the Great Plains through acquisition, restoration, research, exhibition, and education.
The Great Plains Transportation Museum (GPTM) displays a wide assortment of railroad equipment.
Our two largest displays are Santa Fe steam locomotive #3768 and Santa Fe FP45 diesel #93.
These locomotives are unique in our collection in that they represent the last class of
passenger locomotives that were built for the Santa Fe in their respective eras.
Indoor exhibits include railroad prints, signs, lanterns, tools, and other artifacts including a mock-up mechanical stoker used for training steam locomotive personnel. We invite you to visit the Great Plains Transportation Museum to learn more about these and many other historical pieces and displays.
