On both sides of the train, the same
airplane is visible.
Below left is an old Alaska Railroad
water tower. It has been bought by a private party and moved off
the railroad onto an adjacent property. Quite a few miles later,
I noticed this area with railroad construction material.
Pre-assembled track panels are stacked
up in the lower left photograph.
The below two photogaphs show a line
change from several years ago. The new alignment goes through a
cut slope area.
We had a meet with a northbound
freight train.
More views of abandoned right-of-way
and realignment.
For most cut slopes, there is a nearby
fill slope. Here the train travels over a multi-thousand cubic
yard fill.
