Hi, I must be the only GN fan around here since no posts in awhile! Anyhow, does anyone want to post some pics of Skykomish if you have them, perticularly of around the depot and powerhouse area? I am building the town in Z-scale for my GN RR layout. Thanks alot.
I have a couple of views. But no scanner. Surely there's a GN fan web site somewhere? With photos? Boxcab E50
Well, he posted it in the GN forum... If he posted in BNSF, we'd think he wanted modern pics.:lightbulb: :lightbulb:
*shrugs* I'd prolly post requests for, say, Wishram in the SP&S forum (if there is one) not a BNSF one, but then I always associate routes with who built them. Anyway, here's the Sky HS' website. They've got a handful of nice old photos. http://www.geocities.com/skyhistory/index.htm I know there's a website that belongs to either the state of Wa or maybe one of the universities that has a large collection of historical photos online. I don't recall anything from Sky in there, but I wasn't looking for that at the time so....
Taken in the last few years, but it doesn't look much different. The Mayor of Sky (might be former now) is a huge GN Fan If you go into town and go to the station, drive or walk two blocks east and his hous is facing the tracks. He has a GN Metal emblem above the garage door. Sorry I don't have older pics.
I know the University of Washington has a large photo archive. A lot of railroad pictures. Perhaps in there? Caution- I have seen many Milwaukee Road photos in there which were mis-labelled. So likely errors for other companies as well. Boxcab E50
