Sante Fe No. 5021 "Texas" 2-10-4 is one of the last steam locomotives to be purchased by the railroad in the final years of steam. This locomotive entered service in 1944 as part of an order of 26 similar locomotives from the American Locomotive Company. It operated in regular service until 1957. No. 5021 features a one piece, cast-steel frame, disc-type driver centers, and roller bearings. The rigid frame makes the locomotive more suitable for long straight stretches of rail, such is found in deserts and plains. The drive wheel arrangement and rigid frame make it less capable in winding, mountainous terrain. 

A steam locomotive is a railway locomotive that produces its pulling power through a steam engine. These locomotives are fueled by burning combustible material - usually coal, wood, or oil - to produce steam in a boiler. The steam moves reciprocating pistons which are mechanically connected to the locomotive's main wheels (drivers). Both fuel and water supplies are carried with the locomotive, either on the locomotive itself or in wagons (tenders) pulled behind. The first steam locomotive, made by Richard Trevithick, first operated on 21 February 1804, three years after the road locomotive he made in 1801. The first practical steam locomotive was built in 1812-13 by John Blenkinsop. -wikipedia
