Texas and Pacific 610, also known as Will Rogers, is a historic steam locomotive. It is the only surviving example of the Texas and Pacific Railway 's (T&P) class I-1AR 2-10-4 "Texas" type locomotives.
The Texas and Pacific Railway started to experience floodwaters from the Red River on their Louisiana line east of Shreveport. At this time, the T&P was already dieselized.

It proved the viability of the type on the ATSF, but the Great Depression shelved plans to acquire more. In 1938, with the railroad's fortunes improving, ATSF acquired 10 more 2-10-4 locomotives.
