Old School ARR
Another from the way back early digital days archives.
A pair of classic RDCs (#s 701 & 712) on the Hurricane Turn pause on the train's namesake bridge to allow passengers to get off and walk around. More than a decade ago things were much more casual on the Alaska Railroad than they are now.
701 is an RDC-3 built for the New Haven Railroad in 1953 as their number 126
712 is an RDC-3 built for the New York Central in 1953 as their number M380.
This would be the last season for the classic "Budd Cans" as the railroad's crews called them as time and the increasing popularity of this train finally caught up to them.
