Did they donate any of the 90 class for preservation outside of skagway? I heard a rumor the rest are being used as rip rap, though i hope thats false. (I know there keeping two of the 101's and rebuilt 90s for heritage but still)
They took the prime mover out of the 100 before they scrapped it. Then, they rebuilt the prime mover and put it into the 101. So, they ended up making one loco out of two old ones.
I was unaware that the White Pass had an auxiliary tender. I'm glad to find that out. Is there any history with the tender that you know of, like if it came off a scrapped locomotive. Great pacing shots by the way.
Off hand I seemed to recall it was previously behind Rotary 1, and then converted for auxiliary usage, but I could be wrong, and that still does not answer where it came from before rotary usage.
The auxiliary tender in the clip originally was the tender of No. 193, which had been retired in 1946. In 1947, this tender was assigned to be No. 73's tender. The White Pass purchased Nos. 72 and 73 without tenders to save money. There were so many tenders of retired 190-class locos that they could re-assign them to locos in use. In 2001, the ex-193 tender was removed from No. 73, and No. 73 got the tender that used to be behind No. 81. The No. 81 tender had originally been the tender of one of Nos. 191, 194, or 197 - don't know which. The No. 81 tender had been sent down to the Sumpter Valley in 1977, along with No. 81. The No. 81 tender came back in 1990, along with a rotary tender. Back to the ex-193 tender: It became an auxiliary tender in 2019. The way you can tell the original tenders apart without seeing the numbers was by the shape of the top of the tender ladders on the fireman's side. In the case of the original 193/73 tender, the ladder was removed altogether in 1982. White pass put these ladders on shortly after converting to oil, and they were not 100% consistent in the way they made tops of the ladders.
Very well done video :)
Cool video and the speed.

@@RailPreserver2K no they’re all still here. Only the 100 was scrapped about 10 years ago.

Judging by the design of the tender, it’s likely that it was off of one of the 190 class locomotives.
