It had a 23 mile steam power section, and a 9 mile electrified section with grades up to 4-5%. The steam section had this little prairie as its sole means of motive power. It was bought new, the electric equipment was used. The railroad found other means to survive after the dam was complete, such as logging, tourists, local needs, and maintaining the dam. The railroad closed in 1954, leaving this engine in Newhalem park. In 1973, a group tried their hand at starting a tourist railroad on a portion of the old ROW of the Skagit River Railroad, using this engine. It ran with it, 3 former Milwaukee Road coaches, and a little Plymouth critter locomotive, until sometime in the 1980s, when they ran into financial problems with paying for an overhaul for the engine, and shut down. After which Newhalem took the engine back.
