Santa Fe 2926 is a former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (Santa Fe) 4-8-4 steam locomotive originally built in 1944 by Baldwin. This locomotive was part of the last group of steam locomotives, one of the largest 4-8-4 types that was ever built, purchased new by the Santa Fe. The railroad used the locomotive in passenger service until it was retired from active service in 1956; the locomotive was then donated to the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The city displayed the locomotive as a static exhibit in Coronado Park until June 23 2000, when it was moved onto a siding of BNSF Railway in preparation for its eventual move to the former Santa Fe locomotive repair shops in Albuquerque. The locomotive is currently undergoing restoration in this location to operating condition by the New Mexico Steam Locomotive and Railroad Historical Society.

On October 1, 2007, the locomotive was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
