WP&YR #52

WP&YR #52

This 2-6-0 Mogul has had an interseting life, coming from Utah, then to Washington State, before being the original #2 on the WP&YR, and is believed to be the first locomotive to cross the White Pass. It was retired in 1936, sent to British Columbia, before being returned to Skagway. It was cosmetically restored in 2014 and sits near the cruise docks, next to the train tracks and a steam-powered snow thrower.
