Background[]
The engine was built in 1928 and was a part of the powerful 3751 class. It hauled many trains and could haul long ones, too. Originally coal fired, it was converted to oil in 1936. After retirement, it hauled one last excursion train in California, then set to storage, but later the engine was donated to Kingman, Arizona, where it is until 2022. Pikachu and Eevee planned ATSF 3759 to moved out of static display site for the Alola Region Scenic Railroad Donation Special to relocate ATSF 3759 from Kingman, Arizona to the Alola Region Scenic Preservation Society to be restored to operation.
