Ritchie,

Looks like you are having a good time browsing through the collection of Alaska railroad oddities. There are some really interesting equipment and operations up here. The one shot I regret missing was huge Tlingkit cedar canoe on  a flatcar. It must have been 40 ft long or more, and had the most amazing carvings/painting on the side.

Best wishes, Dave
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
