Yesterday afternoon at Montana Creek Bridge.

In what appeared to me to be the end of their shift, an Alaska Railroad work crew, one with welding torch in hand, walk off the Montana Creek bridge they had been doing upgrade work on.

As I try to limit myself to no more than one train post a day, I was going to save this for later in the week, but my stack of pictures I wanted to post but so far have not grows ever deeper, I decided to post it now. It will be hard to see on a small screen, but if you peer closely through the crane structure near the cab, you will see that this is also a Sancho the drone selfie of myself with Alaska Railroad man Mike Gerenday, who brought me along and took some ground-based black and white photography himself. Check out his Alaska Railroad Railfans page.

The homemade caboose at the back was constructed in 1943 by Alaska Railroad employees.

Thank you, Mike!
