Alaska Railroad 712 as a Cab.

This train, most probably the Hurricane Turn, was about to depart Anchorage on July 30, 1995. By this date ARR's RDCs were not very dependable thus were seldom used by themselves. RDC 712 was acting as cab car, coach, and baggage car, but not the source of traction. The power was GP49 2801.
