Bo,
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! The White Pass had 11 90 class GE's. Everyone of them was/is every bit as individual as a steam locomotive! Some would only run up "the hill" out of Skagway facing a particular direction. Others lost their plows, etc. and they all wound up having their own specific modifications.
Besides, after the RGS, D&RGW, C&S, etc. had all given up the ghost, the White Pass was still running. In fact, it was even using equipment from those narrow gauge railroads (excluding the RGS) and others.
Perhaps you would prefer the White Pass #73?
Everyone has their favorite!
