Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad '3460' class 4-6-4 No. 3460. Built in 1937 by Baldwin as a class of 6 oil-fired locomotives, all were withdrawn by 1956. One non-streamlined locomotive 3463 is preserved in Topeka.

Seen here in late 1937, 3460 was the only AT&SFRR locomotive to be streamlined, it was nicknamed 'The Blue Goose' because of its Robin's Egg Blue livery. The class were used on services between La Junta, Colorado and Chicago, Illinois, a fairly flat division of the railroad suited for the 4-6-4 type.
