TODAY'S PHOTOS
Coming and going about 45 minutes from Anchorage Depot July 13, 2009 at 9:45 p.m. and it is still an hour and a half to sunset. Alaska RR’s Coastal Classic runs daily in the summer Anchorage to Seward in the morning and returns in the evening. This is the returning northbound threading the shores of the Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet returning to Anchorage. Up front is 4321, a SD70MAC and generator car P-30 built from an E9B. The SD70MAC is a straight freight engine (yesterday I saw it pulling a gravel drag) so P-30 provides head-end power (HEP).
