| Remarks & Notes |
| A photographer leans out an open vestibule dutch door to snap a few more shots on this glorious Friday evening. The classic domes and the warm hospitality (while riding in dutch doors is shunned on most roads, on the ARR it is encouraged) are but a couple of the innumerable great things about the Alaska Railroad's passenger service. He and the rest of his fellow passengers only have about 10 miles and as many minutes left to go in their journey on the southbound Denali Star. This particular spot is deep on confines of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in an area that is little photographed. In the foreground is a tangle of Tufted Vetch, which is beautiful to look at and photograph but is a non-native invasive species. In the distance rise the high peaks of the Chugach Mountains. Note: the photographer is a railroad employee with permission to be on the property and was wearing all required PPE while taking this photograph. |
