Bruce - that is a short but fantastic movie of a pupmobile in action
Popeye - that picture of the narrow gauge trucks on the standard gauge flat car stored in Pasco is them. Originally they were attached to a very short flat car that was buried about a foot deep in the tundra and entangled with roots. The wood was judged too far gone to be salvageable. All in all it was a significant effort to retrieve usable parts. The "Blue Mountain' story is one to relate in the future. In the meantime, here are some more pictures of the Seward Peninsula RR (originally Wild Goose RR). The railroad used mainly Climax engines along with a couple of rod engines, including
the Blue Mountain
