This car, used by the Superintendent, was built in 1933 from a 1927 Paige Model 6-75 7-passenger Sedan, with a Chevy gas engine. It had an overall length of 18' 4", width 5' 10", height 6'5" and weighed 5,800 pounds.

    It worked on the railroad until June 25, 1947 when it broke an axle and was retired. Some time later, it was used as riprap for erosion control along the Skagway River.
