It's just after 10 PM as a northbound freight with 67 cars and well over a mile of freight wends its way north along Turnagain Arm about 16 miles from the end of it's journey in downtown Anchorage. All this freight has arrived off the Alaska Railbelt Marine barge in Whittier which carries both railcars and containerized freight for its owner Lynden as well as Northland Services and the Alaska Railroad.
Coal and steel don't go bad. This album features long, slow, heavy freight trains; drag freights, slop freights, dead freights, etc. Trains with lots of power, and lots of different cargo slogging along behind.
