Thanks for posting the photo of Skookum in pieces on the side of the yard! Back then, Snoqualmie was a "magical" place to a teenage steam nut! There were something like 15 engines in various states of decay and a very wet, bramble and dense forest surrounded yard. I was lucky enough to be the hostler on #6 2-6-6-2 for one year, for the Christmas train. It was amazing to be in the cab at 4 or 5 in the morning, surrounded by logging engines, bringing 6 to life, with 6" of snow on everything.
