Photo of "Porter #4" with Paul Hildebrandt in the drivers seat. The photo was taken in 1955. The location is somewhere in Klondike City and is sitting on ten feet of narrow gauge train tracks. The Porter #4 has now been restored and is presently in the train shelter at the Dawson City Museum. Handwritten on the back of the photo is "Paul Hildebrandt on #4 - 1955 as it was left. When the men of yore just up and left, lonely was number four, but someone had heart and deeply felt, this beauty they could restore. Today she shines for all to see, she is almost as good as new and the work, she did will forever be HISTORY for me and you."
