Following the Seward Highway along the Turnagain Arm, 1802 and domes heads towards Portage, from Anchorage, to pick up a string of flat cars to form the Whittier Shuttle in August 1985. The photographer had the wonderful experience of riding 1802 from Portage to Whittier and back on this day. History is repeating itself today as the shuttle is back in action after the road to Whittier, built some time after this photograph, was recently blocked by a rockfall.
