image Typical coaling facility along the ARR was a stiff leg crane with a clamshell bucket. (PD)
image Broad Pass - There was a yard limit there and the train used to pull up until the crew could get off the caboose and then back up and spot the engine for water. This station was where they fed railroad trainmen and enginemen (CF).

image Just a four wheel speeder probably a Fairmont with a home made cab. More important is the car behind it. The Denali with sleeping bags hung over the rear rail to air out. Confirmation of its use as a bunkhouse. I would guess this is Cantwell siding, or Mckinly Park Hotel siding. From the photos I would say they spent quite a bit of time in the Nenana Canyon working.
