It’s always interesting for me to realize that every piece of rolling equipment on the ARR had to get there by boat! There’s no rail link to the outside world, and as I understand it, everything comes into Alaska at either Whittier or Seward. Great stuff! Thanks for posting!
As an alaskan, I have seen the anchorage rail yard is somewhat small. The one in Fairbanks where I've been too is a little bit bigger. There's not much activity in the anchorage rail yard other than shunting cars around to the local industries. The rail barges in Seward are full of activity.
Wow that's awesome fantastic yes Alaska 😀 😊
3005 and 3006 still carry their original Prime manufacturing PM-733 loudspeaker bells. Great video
Hi great video nice catch. Question Do any of these freight trains have cabooses at the end? Just curious
The Alaska railroad does not regularly use cabooses on their trains
WOW!! Great video of ARR train work in Anchorage. Thanks you for posting this and I hope you had a great time in Alaska!

Are Alaska Railroad's SD70MACs equipped with HEP units that supplies electricity to passenger cars?
Yes, the ones used in passenger service are, as well as some geeps I believe
