Midwest Rails
Welcome to Whittier
Shoving slowly over the glacial-fed Placer Creek, a four pack of GPs come to a stop as the conductor pulls the extra barge from Seattle with carloads of merchandise and bulk commodities bound for customers in the state of Alaska. Virtually all of the small port town of Whittier can be seen in this cliffside view overlooking the bay. A 120S crew has just come off of release at 1230, and is now building the 120N cut for the next crew later in the evening. Apparently seeing sun in Whittier is a very rare occasion, so we were happy to be here on the last day of our trip with a colorful EMD set to shoot.
