Atlanta and West Point 290
Atlanta and West Point 290 is a steam locomotive built in 1926 by the Lima Locomotive Works for the Atlanta and West Point Railroad. The engine is a 4-6-2 Heavy Pacific-type steam locomotive, remarkably similar to Southern Railway's Ps-4s class. With sister locomotive No. 190 built for the Western Railway of Alabama, the 290 pulled the ''Crescent'' passenger train from Atlanta, Georgia, to Montgomery, Alabama, until the engine's retirement from revenue-producing service in 1954.
== History ==
290 entered service for the West Point Route in 1926, pulling the ''Crescent'' from Atlanta, Georgia, to Montgomery, Alabama.
When she was taken out of service in 1954, fans of 290 established the "290 Club" which succeeded in persuading the Atlanta and West Point Railroad to preserve the locomotive rather than sell her for scrap. 290 remained on immobile display for several years before she was donated to the Atlanta Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society in 1961.
