The WP&YR’s first engine, #52 (originally #2) A 2-6-0 was built by Brooks Locomotive Works in 1881 for the Utah & Northern Railroad; sold in 1890 to Columbia & Puget Sound and sold again in 1898 to the WP&YR. Engine #52 operated its first year within the Skagway valley and later on, along the shores of Lake Bennett. In 1931 it was moved to Taku Tram duty, operating from Taku to Scotia Bay connecting with the “M/V Tahrane”, carrying guests to and from Atlin, BC and the WP&YR’s “Atlin Inn”. It was retired from service in 1936. Recovered in 1964 from a spur at Taku, it was brought to Skagway for its initial renovation and display. (wpyr.com)
