Washington - Skagit River Railway
No longer operating - The Skagit River Railway was originally organized by Seattle City Light to facilitate the movement of men and materials from the end of the Great Northern's line at Rockport, to hydro electric dam construction sites further east on the river. After the railroad was abandoned, the railroad's only steam locomotive, Baldwin 2-6-2 #6 was placed on display in the Seattle City Light park at Newhalem.
In 1973 a local group raised funds and tried to operate a steam excursion train on Burlington Northern (formerly GN) tracks between the towns of Sedro-Wooley and Concrete in the Skagit River Valley. They obtained permission from Seattle City Light to use the name "Skagit River Railway".

Wellsville, Addison & Galeton Railroad
The Wellsville, Addison and Galeton Railroad (WAG) was incorporated in 1954 to purchase 91 miles of former Buffalo and Susquehanna (B&S) trackage from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O). This former B&S trackage had seen dwindling profits for a number of years and the tracks were physically separated from the rest of the B&O system due to a flood that washed out track in 1942.

Western Pacific Railroad Page
I like to think of this site as an electronic publication. I am attempting to present, in as complete a manner as possible, information relating to the railroads that have sparked an interest not only for me but many others as well. As with all projects of this magnitude research is ongoing and new information is gleaned daily. I am hopeful you will find all of the information concerning the Western Pacific Railroad and subsidiary roads you may desire for historical, modeling or general interest purposes located here.
