| 11/12 | John Combs | Wanna buy a railcar? The Seward Chamber of Commerce is selling their information center railcar. This parlor observation car was built in 1916 by Pacific Car and Foundry in Oakland, California and purchased by the Alaska Railroad in 1935. They retired it in 1960. In 1963 the coach was given to the Seward Chamber of Commerce and moved to its present location by two local men a few weeks before the 1964 earthquake. This was accomplished by pulling it up Second Avenue with two caterpillar tractors. This would make an awesome Christmas present for any Alaska Railroad railfan! This photo was taken 8/19/05. |
