AT&SF 3759 is a locomotive listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Kingman, Arizona and housed in Locomotive Park, located between Andy Devine Avenue and Beale Street. The park was established in August 1957 with AT&SF 3759 donated to the City of Kingman in recognition of Kingman's history with the railroad.

AT&SF 3759 was delivered in 1928 as a 3751 "Northern" Class 4-8-4 passenger locomotive. Originally a coal burner with 73" drivers, the fleet was converted to oil in 1936 and rebuilt between '38 and '41 with 80" drivers. Its regular passenger run was from Los Angeles to Kansas City, with Kingman as a water stop on the way back to Los Angeles. Retired in 1953, the engine had traveled over 2,585,600 miles. In 1987 caboose 999520 was retired and donated to Kingman to be added to the 3759 display. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as number 86001113.
