The Lady Has Lost Her Shoes

Alaska Railroad SD70MAC 4013 (built February 2000) rests on jacks while completely devoid of her front truck. She is tucked inside the heavy repair shop sitting on track Back 1. Much of the heavy repair work takes place in the off season when the ARR has a large surplus of motive power due to seasonal nature of their passenger and gravel train business.
