When the Army sold the Sno-Train for surplus in 1964, it was bought by Carl “Pete” Peterson of Miller Salvage. The site would later be called the Arctic Surplus Salvage Yard Superfund site in the early 1990s. The following aerial photographs from 1993 show the Sno-Train in the salvage yard prior to its sale on eBay.
