When I had some time to poke around Skagway several years ago, one of my discoveries near the shop was a collection of old passenger car trucks in the "scrap" pile. It was a veritable museum of ancient truck design and construction, with an incredible variety of different arrangements. Have no idea what if anything is still left.
