| Volunteers at the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry have prepared tracks at the Museum to receive two locomotives purchased this past summer as surplus at Clear Air Force Station. EMD MRS1 #1718 and GE 80 tonner #1604 have both been maintained operational by volunteers. The next big step is to arrange transportation for the locomotives over the Alaska Railroad to Wasilla and onto the Museum tracks at MP 162.5 where volunteers will assist with placing them in the Museum grounds. If you want to be part of the crew at the Museum to assist in this effort contact Pat Durand at 907 696 2373. You will then be on the call list when the move is scheduled. | |
