Skagit project passenger railroad, circa 1930s. This would be the Skagit River Railway,  a Great Northern Railway branch line financed by Seattle City Light. It ran with steam engines to Newhalem (site of the Gorge Dam), then electric for eight more miles, using a variety of secondhand interurban equipment. Besides their practical use for City Light construction projects, they carried up to 500 tourists a day. The railroad was abandoned in 1954. <i><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.bera.org/cgi-bin/pnaerc-query.pl?detail=1815">Reference</a></i>
