Remarks & Notes

Fall in Alaska can be spectacular if not short and catching something other than a passenger train in Healy Canyon during the daylight hours is a treat. During the Fall and it is even a bigger bonus but such was the case this day. As the passenger season winds down a work train shuttles back and forth in the canyon dumping fill to help shore up a couple of problem areas. The road to the right of the train is the former roadbed and enters Garner Tunnel which has long since been bypassed by the railroad. On the rear is Budd RDC 711 used as a caboose and formerly used on the Hurricane Turn.
