Western Railroad Discussion > How to Move a Locomotive in the Light of Day without Tracks?Date: 11/28/15 10:51 How to Move a Locomotive in the Light of Day without Tracks? Author: YukonYeti Gentlemen... Thaniks for the notes and compliments.. Now that the unit is at the Alaska Marine Lines Terminal, it needs to get to Skagway..
The shots are pretty well self explanatory.    Date: 11/28/15 10:59 Re: How to Move a Locomotive in the Light of Day without Tracks? Author: YukonYeti In the first image you will see the unit at the lower left hand corner of the barge...
The second image is entitld "Finally on Home Rails - Almost." The front end loader will tow the unit to a spot where it will finally meet the narrow guage tracks... I will now return to the cave...

Author: NSDTK Do they have to wait for the right moment of the tide to pull the unit off the barge and onto the ramp ?

Twice you have ventured from the relative tranquility of the Yeti lair into the bright sunshine to image these photographs. I hope you have suffered no ill effects!
