Remarks & Notes |
Heading for the Hills - The White Pass & Yukon's "rotary fleet" consisting of vintage snowplow #3 (Cooke - 1899) blasts out of town trailed by twin steam locomotives #73 (Baldwin 2-8-2 blt. 5-47) and #69 (Baldwin 2-8-0 blt. 4-07) and coach 211 as it heads for White Pass summit and the Canadian border to do battle with the snow drifts in the time honored tradition. This is the task for which she was built 111 years ago. She is on the mainline while the track in the foreground leads to the north end of the WP&Y shop and yards |
