Lunch is over and a crewmember climbs back aboard ARR 2005 for some afternoon switching Tn the yard. The 75th Anniversary logo is unique (I think) to ARR 2005... |

ARR 4013 |
| Description: |
A closer look at the power on this Seward-bound freight. 3 MACs seems like a lot of power for a train consisting of 2 loads and 5 empty flats, but there's a much larger train waiting at Seward to be brought back to Anchorage. |

ARR 4327 leading the charge on a southbound coal train. 4327 is from ARR's third order of SD70MACs and is equipped with a HEP generator which means it's more likely to be in passenger service than leading a coal train. |

| Description: |
ARR 3007 leads a rare'ish weekend Whittier freight on the western flanks of Anchorage. ARR 3007 (and sister unit ARR 3008) were, at the time, the last GP40-2s to be re-painted in the Baby MAC scheme. They're also the only two to receive this style of nose herald, something to take note of for you modelers out there. |
