Wheeling To Whittier Here's another I don't remember shooting but there were a lot of these chases down along the 'Arm' over the years. Three GP40-2s in matching modern paint lead train 120S with another load of containers headed toward Whittier and a date with yet another Alaska Marine Lines barge up from Seattle. This is around MP 68.5 on the Alaska Railroad mainline and in just about four miles they'll reach CP F120 and the switch at the north leg of the wye for the CTC controlled Whittier Branch for the dozen mile run to the port town on Prince William Sound. Of that 12 miles more than 25% of that trip will be underground as they pass through nearly 3.5 miles of tunnels beneath the peaks and glaciers of the coastal mountains. North of Portage, Alaska |
