Baldwin Locomotive Works

White Pass & Yukon Route 73 is an operating steam locomotive. It was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the White Pass and Yukon Route in 1947. After retirement in 1964, the locomotive was moved to Bennett, British Columbia, in 1968 for display. In 1979 the locomotive was moved again to Whitehorse, Yukon, this time to be restored. Restoration was completed in 1982, and the locomotive has been back in service since then. It is currently the larger of two operating steam locomotives on the line.
