Great Northern Profile Map 2, Cascade Summit to Skykomish, Washington, 1894. This segment shows the original switchbacks. The original drawings in this series are heavy cardboard with cloth backing. A.B. Wilse produced a rolled map from Stevens Pass summit to Skykomish - these seem to be the base drawings. From the Great Northern Railway Historical Society Archives at the Jackson Street Roundhouse, Saint Paul, Minnesota.
