I was perusing a stack of old photos in a second hand store in LaGrande, Oregon a couple weeks back, when I came across this photo of White Pass & Yukon #70. I added it to my purchase and donated it to the SVRR Archive. There were no notes on the back of the photo. #70 was built by Baldwin in May of 1938 with 25,200lbs. of TE. #70 was the first of four engines to be built for the White Pass in this design. The WP&Y retired #70 in 1963 and it now operates at Dollywood in Tenn.
