Wild Mountain Run Behind Seattle Trains Told by Sam Potter
Sam Potter recounts a near reckless run on a Great Northern passenger train from this city to Seattle in 1900 led by engineer Billy Lowe. Lowe pushed the engine to the limit to beat delays, refusing to slow, while Fireman Geo Oberg abandoned the locomotive at Skykomish. Potter joined the ride and survived a harrowing dash that ended with Seattle on time and the introduction of double headers for westbound trains.
