| Remarks & Notes |
| Now this is what I call a passenger train! - One of the longest passenger trains in recent ARR history is being readied for departure. This train consists of 22 cars with two MACs on the south end and one on the north for a total length of just over 2100 ft! Included in the consist were all 6 of ARR's premier double deck Goldstar first class cars as well as vintage former UP "heritage" cars, glass topped single level Colorado Railcar cars, Korean coaches, and a former SP gallery car - quite the motley arrangement. This was a special charter for the IEEE convention that was in town and ran from Anchorage south to Spencer and back in a pull-pull configuration. Rising across the cold waters of Cook Inlet some 60 miles away can be seen the 1300+ ft peaks of the mighty Alaska Range in this westward (railroad southward) view from the C Street bridge. |
