Old #6
Purchased in 1927 for $7,500.00 "No. 6" carried supplies and equipment to build the dams and powerhouses. She brought personnel and tourists to the Skagit until 1954.
She played a major role in helping fulfill the dream of J.D. Ross to build a hydro-electric project to supply the city of Seattle with low cost electricity.
In the 1970's, 'The Skagit River Railway Volunteers" restored the train to operating condition.
