When Lori Lindsey bought a tavern in New Mexico in 2007, she acquired the restaurant, the museum, and a steam locomotive that was parked and abandoned in 1959 when the mine shut down and the town was abandoned

769 was sold off to the Albuquerque & Los Cerrillos Coal Company in 1950 and sent to work at the coal mine at Madrid, NM, located at the end of a 6.7-mile spur extending south from the Santa Fe main at Waldo. 

The 769 was never renumbered nor relettered by the coal company, and spent its post-Santa Fe career in full A.T.&S.F. markings.

When the mine shut down amid a declining coal market in 1959, Madrid became a ghost town.

Locomotives 769 and 870 were abandoned on-site and left to rust.
