#51 Baldwin DS-4-4-6(660 HP). Builder's number 73042, built in November, 1946. Only DS-4-4-6 built for and sold Canadian service. #51 ran on the Morrissey, Fernie & Michel Rwy as their #1, working for Crows Nest Pass Coal Company , Coal Creek, BC. Sold to Delta Alaska Terminal Rwy, running as their #1, then sold to unknown individuals (not the princpals of the Seattle & North Coast). Was painted as "North Coast Lines" #51 for unknown reasons. There is no evidence that it ever operated on the Seattle & North Coast, although it was stored on SNCT's property at Pier 27 in Seattle. As NCL #51, it had a Northern Pacific style "monad", which legal action forced them to remove (all lettering and monad were in white). Subsequently repainted in Seattle & North Coast colors with SNCT 51 painted in yellow on the cab. No SNCT lettering was added to the hood. It displayed SNCT 51 in yellow on the cab sides. Was stored in Tacoma, Washington, possibly at the Continental Grain site where it may have seen some use. It was sold and moved to the Chelatchie Prairie RR, where it arrived in SNCT paint in November of 1982. At some time, the DS had been "hot rodded" (the four original exhaust stacks being replaced with six straight stacks. It was used by the Chelatchie Prairie for approximately two years, apparently in exchange for storage of the locomotive. While on the CP, it remained in SNCT paint. The locomotive's private owner (Doug Morgan) eventually leased #51 to the Napa Valley Wine Train where it operated as their #51. The Napa Wine lease expired in June of 1989 and #51 was moved to Oroville, CA, and stored at Solano Rail Car. It is not known when #51 was acquired by a private owner or if it was sold more than once after leaving SNCT property. Photos of #51 As far as is known, it was never used on the SNCT.

The unit is now numbered 98 and is painted in the red, black, and silver colors of Seattle's Ballard High School. Photos of this unit have appeared in several railfan publications. Photos of #52
