Steam & Excursion > Please ID this engine for me.

Attached is a photo of a steamer on the White Pass & Yukon in 9/2005. Can anyone help me identify it, whose it is, and where it is now? Thanks

White Pass & Yukon #69, that's it! Thanks for your help! I didn't see it on any of the regular rosters.

Go to this site to hear about its history abroad.

"At the time of completion Engine 69, at 134,369 pounds, was one of the heaviest narrow gauge, outside-frame locomotives built by Baldwin. It was capable of tackling grades of 3.9 percent and curves and radiuses of up to 20 degrees. The tractive power of 69 was equivalent to that of many standard-gauge engines and it was well-suited to running over rails weighing 56 pounds per yard."

If I'm not mistaken, that engine had been sitting in the Pioneer Mueseum near Kearney, NE for quite a while.

Reply: I believe you are correct. I do wonder how much it cost them to ship it back to Skagway.
