Title:  ARR 4012

ARR 3010
Title:  ARR 3010
Description:  ARR 3010 and another two GP40-2s lead a southbound freight bound for the barge in Whittier near Indian. There was another barge in at Seward, but this one was the more interesting train to chase. Despite the poor weather, I was out mainly to get video of this train.

ARR 3006
Title:  ARR 3006
Description:  Original paint scheme'd GP40-2 leads a lone hopper under the only signal bridge like it on the Alaska Railroad back toward the yard in Anchorage. I've dubber this industrial job as "The Trundler" as it spends most of its time on a rickety mile-long spur which serves local industries. You can see my video camera on the right side of this shot and if you're interested, you can see video of The Trundler's day here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEslYZnkucA

ARR 3006
Title:  ARR 3006
Description:  The APU Spur job works along E. 1st Ave in Anchorage as ARR 3006 splices 2 covered hoppers for the Alaska Mill Feed & Garden Center. The reason it's configured this way is because the customer has two spurs, one for fertilizer and one for feed. One of those spurs is a facing point move and the other is a trailing point move.

Title:  ARR 3006

ARR 4002
Title:  ARR 4002
Description:  ARR 4002 is on the tail end of a an empty gravel train stopped for the weekend on Elmendorf AFB. It had been 3 weeks since my previous railroad photo when I took this series, and based on the typical Alaska summers (low clouds, rain, high temps in the low 60Fs), you never know when the next sunny day will present itself. In fact, it had snowed ~3 inches the day prior to this shot. However, as the spring and summer of 2013 continued to roll out, it would turn out to be one of the sunniest and warmest stretches on record in southcentral Alaska. This was just the first in a long series of successful visits trackside in 2013 during a legendary summer in The Last Frontier!
