Re: Pupmobiles on the Seward Peninsula Railroad

Here is a photo of Seward Peninsula Railroad 0-6-0 number 5 in the surf as rip-rap for the Nome sea wall. In the book this picture originally came from (The Lure of Alaska, written in 1939 by Harry Frank) the engine was wrongly identified as engine 4, the Blue Mountain. I remember the Fordson tractor conversion from 1993, but if it was in the park two years ago I failed to take a picture of it.
