Six new locomotives for White Pass?

[www.whitehorsestar.com]


"The locomotives are currently under construction by National Railway Equipment Company in Mount Vernon, Illinois. According to Taylor, two of the six are nearing completion and have been painted.

The first two locomotives are painted the traditional green and yellow, while the remainder of the fleet will be a modified paint scheme.

Once the locomotives are finished, they’ll be shipped to Seattle via flat car, then to Skagway via barge. Taylor said the first locomotive is scheduled for delivery in March, and they’ll be put into operation as soon as they arrive."
