Text-to-speech Audio
643 was officially built by Hinkley in 1879 for the Santa Fe as a 4-4-0 number 73 name "H.C. Hardon". Santa Fe rebuilt #73 in 1897 into a 2-8-0 and it was numbered 993 when rebuilt. During a general renumbering of steam locomotives by the Santa Fe in 1900 the 933 was renumbered to the 643, the road number it kept until retirement in March of 1953. The engine worked in the Santa Fe's Sothern division in freight service. In April 1953 the engine was donated and put on display at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds which donated it to ORM in 2015.
