Great Northern Y-1
In 1927, the Great Northern Railway ordered 8 Y-1 electric boxcabs for their 73 mile electrified district in Washington, from Wenatchee to Skykomish. They served the railroad for 30 years carrying freight and the Great Northern’s premier passenger trains, like the Empire Builder, through the world-famous Cascade Tunnel. Thanks to the modeling efforts of Eirjan and Crashcast E, this heavy haul locomotive is now available to haul your trains!

Thank you to modeler Eirjan for making this possible! Between the initial modelling and countless resources made available by him, this project would not have gotten here without him.
