APU Spur
By this date the MP15s had been placed in storage for sale but trains still rolled on the side of the road (and still do!) A nice late spring day finds a yard job GP38-2 2005 (built by EMD as a straight GP38 in Aug. 1969 as PC 7752) trundling along beside 1st Ave on the APU Spur in the Ship Creek Industrial area in downtown Anchorage. The mighty Chugach Mountains loom in the background contrasting with the tangle of wires and urban grit of Alaska's largest city reminding you that up here the wilderness is never very far away.
