Remarks & Notes

Preparing rail cars for an ocean crossing is time consuming and tedious. A screw jack lifts the car off its springs, while chain and ratchet pull the car tight to deck. From Part 2 of a 2 part article at http://www.oil-electric.com/2009/10/boxcard-go-to-sea-6-part-2-of-2.html detailing the Alaska Railroad - Alaska Railbelt Marine rail barge service to Whittier from Seattle.
