Santa Fe No. 643

The Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe (ATSF) No. 643 is a steam locomotive, built in 1879 by Hinkley with a 4-4-0 wheel configuration; on delivery from the factory, it was numbered ATSF #73 and named "H.C.Hardon".
In 1897, ATSF #73 was rebuilt to a 2-8-0 wheel configuration and renumbered ATSF #933. In 1900, ATSF #933 again changed its number to ATSF #643, in a general re-numbering of AT&SF rolling stock.
In 1953, ATSF #643 last worked freight trains on the AT&SF Southern Divsion and retired from service in April of that year. It was then donated and moved to the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds for static display.
In 2015, ATSF #643 was moved to the Oklahoma Railway Museum for static display with Frisco caboose #649; the smokestack was temporarily removed during this move so as to clear low obstacles. The following year, ATSF #643 received a cosmetic restoration.Category:Steam locomotives
