These are two of the four locomotives of this type that are currently conserved here at the museum. They were designed for passenger service and arrived in Mexico after having run on the North American lines of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. They entered through Nuevo Laredo in November of 1978 and were acquired in a lease by the National Railroads of Mexico. The one that is observed was reconstructed in the General Workshops of the Pacific Region (Empalme, Sonora) in 1989, in order to run in the Star Service, a night passenger service that was to open between Guadalajara and Nogales. It entered the National Museum of the Mexican Railroads in 1991. In 1980, the locomotive DH-17 was decommissioned from the service it provided in passenger and freight trains on the Pacific Railroad lines. After 1991, the DH-17 was reconstructed in the General Workshops of the Pacific Region (Empalme-Sonora), to be exhibited at the Technological Museum of the Federal Electricity Commission, in Mexico City. It entered the National Museum of the Mexican Railways in 1998. This is one of the four famous ALCO locomotives that were transformed from model PA1 to PA4 and that are currently the only ones that remain of their type in the world.
