ARR 3004 |
| Description: |
While waiting for a southbound coal train (which I never did see), I caught this work train working its way back to Anchorage at restricted speed. This is the first rail-related photo I took since moving to Alaska! |

ARR 4002 |
| Description: |
An export coal train bound for Seward leaves the yard in Anchorage as seen from the northern end of the Tony Knowles Trail. Friday evening rush hour traffic and an unfamiliarity with the area prevented me from shooting this train again along the scenic portions of the Seward Highway, but I would eventually get another chance just north of Girdwood. |

ARR 4009 |
| Description: |
The rear of a southbound coal train snakes into Girdwood. The journey out of Anchorage is flat for miles as the line slinks along the Turnagain Arm making the 4x3 power sets look a little out of place, but once south of Girdwood, where the grade sharply increases, all of those 7 MACs will be put to use! |

| Description: |
Freight bound for Whittier snakes south along the scenic Turnagain Arm. I was set up waiting for a nourthbound train and had no idea this guy was coming until I heard the crew call the dispatcher to report a faulty defect detector. Fortunately I was able to re-position to a different turnout to capture this scene. |

ARR 4321 |
| Description: |
As the days were getting longer, the Aurora Winter Train became a viable option to go and shoot. During the winter, this train will leave Anchorage on Saturday morning and run to Fairbanks. The next morning, it will depart Fairbanks and head back home to Anchorage. Here it is running through the middle of nowhere (I was out on some snow mobile trail somewhere) on its weekly Sunday run. |

ARR 3001 |
| Description: |
This matched set of as-delivered black Geeps have been paired together for the past few weeks. They can be seen hanging out around the engine shops on the south end of the yard, and I've been wanting a shot of them for quite some time. One tidbit: You would think ARR 3001 would be the class unit of these GP40-2s, but trailing ARR 3006 is actually the class unit. It was built as ARR 3000, and, for some reason, it was re-numbered to 3006. Anyone know when or why? |
