The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway(reporting markATSF), often abbreviated as Santa Fe or AT&SF, was one of the larger railroads in the United States. Chartered in February 1859, the railroad reached the Kansas-Colorado border in 1873 and Pueblo, Colorado, in 1876. To create a demand for its services, the railroad set up real estate offices and sold farm land from the land grants that it was awarded by Congress. Despite the name, its main line never served Santa Fe, New Mexico, as the terrain was too difficult; the town ultimately was reached by a branch line from Lamy.
The Santa Fe was a pioneer in intermodal freight transport, an enterprise that (at one time or another) included a tugboat fleet and an airline (the short-lived Santa Fe Skyway). Its bus line extended passenger transportation to areas not accessible by rail, and ferryboats on the San Francisco Bay allowed travelers to complete their westward journeys to the Pacific Ocean. The ATSF was the subject of a popular song, Harry Warren & Johnny Mercer's "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe", written for the film, The Harvey Girls (1946).
Between 1953 and 1955, No. 5017 was used in extra service on the Pecos division in eastern New Mexico to supplement diesel power during the peak movement of perishables, grains, and other commodities. On July 25, 1955, No. 5017 made her last trip, tallying 755,088 miles.
No. 5017 was brought to the National Railroad Museum through the efforts of former director, Mr. W.L. Thorton, who was the Director of Traffic for the Kimberly-Clark railway. It was formally donated on December 27, 1959, by E. Marsh, President of the Santa Fe Railway.

JACK: So that's what they call a family Mother, daughter, father, son Guess that everything you heard about is true So you ain't got any family Well who said you needed one? Ain't you glad nobody's waiting up for you? When I dream On my own I'm alone but I ain't lonely For a dreamer night's the only time of day When the city's finally sleeping All my thoughts begin to stray And I'm on the train That's bound for Santa Fe And I'm free Like the wind Like I'm gonna live forever It's a feeling time can never take away! All I need's a few more dollars And I'm outta here to stay Dreams come true Yes they do In Santa Fe Where does it say you gotta live and die here? Where does it say a guy can't catch a break? Why should you only take what you're given Why should you spend your whole life livin' Trapped where there ain't no future Even at seventeen Breaking your back for someone else's sake If the life don't seem to suit ya How about a change of scene? Far from the lousy headlines And the deadlines in between Santa Fe Are you there? Do you swear you won't forget me? If I found you would you let me Come and stay? I ain't getting any younger And before my dying day I want space Not just air Let 'em laugh in my face I don't care Save a place I'll be there So that's what they call a family Ain't you glad you ain't that way? Ain't you glad you got a dream called
