In 1979, Lionel announced a new series called the Famous American Railroad Series, which would commemorate five of the greatest railroads in American history. The first set was the Santa Fe set from 1979. Heading up the set was a 4-6-4 numbered 8900.

The 8900 was essentially a repeat of the 8603 but with a different lettering and paint scheme. Also, like all FARR engines, the tender had the special diamond logo distinguishing the series. It is the smallest of the engines in the FARR series.

Of the five FARR engines, the Santa Fe 4-6-4 is actually the one of the two we see least often. Like many early MPC-era steamers, the price for the engine is not exorbitant, but the engine is surprisingly uncommon.
