| Remarks & Notes |
| Sunrise in Seward - A pair of SD70MACs sit on the Jesse Lee main at the north end of Seward yard just south of the airport road crossing. They arrived the prior evening on a 7000 ft container train and were set out while their third sister is going about her chores spotting and pulling the docks so Northland services can strip the southbound containers and backload with northbound loads destined for points north in the 49th State. Container train operations were something new for Seward this winter winter and with a five year contract in place they should be fixture every December through March for the foreseeable future. It's nice to see some additional life breathed into the south end of the ARR mainline which in the winter months has pretty much solely been the domain of export coal trains. Note: the photographer is a railroad employee with permission to be on the property and was wearing all required PPE while taking this photograph. |
