| Remarks & Notes |
| Now this is what I call a passenger train! - One of the longest passenger trains in recent ARR history is being reading for departure. This train consists of 22 cars with two MACs on the south end and one on the north for a total length of just over 2100 ft! Included in the consist were all 6 of ARR's premier double deck Goldstar first class cars as well as vintage former UP "heritage" cars, glass topped single level Colorado Railcar cars, Korean coaches, and a former SP gallery car - quite the motley arrangement. This was a special charter for the IEEE convention that was in town and ran from Anchorage south to Spencer and back in a pull-pull configuration. This view looks railroad north (compass east) from the far south end of the passenger platform as the train sits on track P1 at the depot. The Chugach Mountains rise beyond on this stormy Wednesday in the Last Frontier. Note: the photographer is a railroad employee with permission to be on the property and was wearing all required PPE while taking this photograph. |
