"GN 5005 at Skykomish, WA



Great Northern Electrics 5005 and 5004 at Skykomish, WA. This must be around the opening of the new and second Cascade tunnel in 1929. The engines look brand new. In 1929 the electrification was extended from te new tunnel to Skykomish and Wanatchee, WA. The Skykomish power plant, used to generate electricity for the railroad, is seen in the background.”
