The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe began furnishing its own specifications for locomotives to builders in 1880. In succeeding years, design of steam locomotives became increasingly complete on the part of the railroad. The culmination of this process was the "Supreme Steam" of the 1930s, exemplified in the magnificent accomplishment of the 3460 Class of 4-6-4s, the 3765 Class of 4-8-4s, and the 5001 Class of 2-10-4s. Also in the 1930s, the Santa Fe played a pioneering role in the development of Diesel locomotives for road service, beginning with the well-known "One-Spot Twins" and continuing with passenger E1 and E3 models, and the FT freight model, from Electro-Motive. Very extensive road testing and usage under Santa Fe's demanding conditions led to many changes and improvements in these pioneer Diesels.
