    How recently was this taken? An interesting little teakettle. Would be fun to see it restored.

    That photo was taken in August of 2013 at the WP&Y shops in Skagway, AK.

    Very nice little engine. Wood cab too - that would date it some time before 1900.

    You bet! It looks to be in rather good shape at first glance. I would be a shame to let her rust away there. I'd love to see her running again.

    Looks like a normal size engine until you compare the boiler to the cab. Maybe the original engineer was a giant and the cab sized to accommodate him....:eek:

    It's a small loco. Narrow gauge. So that's probably why the cab seems large.

    They do keep this steamer going and run excursions behind it regularly.

    Gassman Coulee Trestle action, from new vantage points. We stopped in to talk to the landowner for permission, thanks to a bit of help from the county tax assessor office mapping tool to tell us who owned the property in question. Photos taken from private property, with landowner permission. In fact, he was more than happy to allow us to hike to the hill we desired for these shots.

    Hemi, those are great photos. I especially like the top one showing the vertical snaking. :cool:
