A few pics from my trip to Fairbanks last week:
The Denali train heading southbound on Wednesday for Anchorage (as seen from our conference room window at UAF)
The cruise ship company excursion cars for Denali in the middle of the train:
The dedication plaque on the old ARR passenger depot:
And the end of the line about 250 feet down the track from the plaque:
The flatcars in this shot from the ARR freight yard had RETIRED spray painted down the side in white paint:
And, although its a bit pixelated due to the close crop and the use of a 3.2MP cell phone camera, this car has clearly traveled a lot of miles:
The new passenger depot is on the far side of the yard from the freight house and engine service terminals:
And it has a couple of displays that could keep Ian busy for hours:
