The life of a 'hogger' on the GNRW:

Engine number 2006, an N-3 2-8-8-0 all topped off with oil and water.

GN N-3 backing down the ready track to pick up his train.

GN N-3 leaving Seattle's freight yard. Tower man gives him the high ball.

GN N-3 arriving at Skykomish ready to get his electric helper through the 8 mile long Cascade tunnel.

GNRW Y-1 electric coming out of the 'shed'.

GN Y-1 coupled onto the train and ready to pull the train through the tunnel.

Video of GN Y-1 and N-3 freight drag coming out of Cascade tunnel at Tye.

Cascade entrance at Tye:

Farther down the line, the N-3 arrives at a town that has a virtual endless amount of water to top off the tenders!
