Remarks & Notes 
Fall is short in the last frontier and the opportunity to shoot trains in brilliant colors is limited to a week or maybe two at best. With passenger service cut back from daily in each direction to one north to Fairbanks on Saturday and returning south to Anchorage on Sunday the chance of shooting one with great color is usually a one shot deal. This past September I got lucky as the first Winter Aurora was coming south on Sunday afternoon I headed up north of Eklutna to a location about 30 miles north of Anchorage for this shot. I mucked in through the permafrost bog to get trackside and waited. The train's scheduled time came and went due to them getting hung up by a MofW crew. With but seconds of light left they finally curled into view and I lucked out with the last light turning the scene aglow. Here two MACs lead 4 cars (two coaches, a diner, and a bag car) past the foothills of the Chugach Mountains ablaze in fall colors as the mile high peaks beyond are already shrouded in snow.
