For those narrow gauge, Last Frontier State, fans out there, here are some more from my trip to Alaska last month. I've got to say, the White Pass & Yukon is one of the most amazing rail operations I have ever spent time fanning. Took me nearly fifty years to get to see them the first time... MAN DO I HOPE I GET TO SEE THEM AGAIN.
First shot is of a Summit Excursion train sitting next to one of "those dam ships," the loving nickname of Holland America cruise ships. This one is the Volendam.

Second shot is from my ride up the mountain... where I was able to shoot pics of the Frasier train that was a good two miles ahead of us (how many RRs let you do that?).

Third is taken in our great neighbor's to the North's home... the ALCOs run around my train at White Pass, British Columbia.

Finally, a Frasier train returns to Shops along Pullen Creek, back in Alaska. (This is a very scenic shot that is just a five or ten minute walk from where the cruise ships dock... would look amazing on a sunny day.)
