| John's Alaska Railroad web page
turns 15 - 4/15/12 |
| What started as a way for
me to find more Alaska Railroad HO scale models
for my train layout turned into an Internet clearinghouse
of Alaska Railroad photos, information, modeling
and history. This month marks 15 years for my website
and my commitment to it is as strong as ever. Feel
free to send me an email
of congratulations. If I can find a little free
time I may just post them on this site. Thanks so
much for all your help over the years. You indeed
are the wind beneath my wings! |

World War II sleeper cars. Fishing is just yards
away from your room! If Fairbanks is your final
destination then make the Aurora
Express Bed and Breakfast your final stop. An
authentic Alaska Railroad passenger train complete
