ACY 505 was built in 1954 by Fairbanks-Morse for the Akron, Canton & Youngstown Railroad. It is designated as model H20-44. This unit is also the last one produced by F-M.
It saw service on the ACY until sold to South West Portland Cement Co. in 1970, where it was renumbered as SWPC 410.
After acquisition by the museum, it was again repainted, this time as Union Pacific #410, to commemorate UP's role in Galveston rail heritage. it performed excursion duties until being flooded by Hurricane Ike in 2008. The museum has kept the unit, given its historic significance.
