For your Alaskan Interlude let's take you to Alaska's own "Sullivan's Curve" named for Michael Sullivan of Hoboken NJT fame whose brush cutting skills earlier in the year opened up this shot.

It's rare to catch a GP38-2 on the main, as the classic little 2000 hp units are generally reserved for yard duty. And since they are the only class of loco wearing the 1980's "Alaska Bold" scheme it is an extra special treat, particularly in the short window of golden fall color!

Northbound 120N from Whittier swings around the big curve north of Rainbow siding at MP 93.5 on the Kenai Subdivision.
