North DEX
Another from long ago early in my Alaska years and the caption I wrote way back then when originally posted RP.net:
The northbound Alaska Railroad DEX (Denali Express) has departed the depot in Anchorage after making a quick crew swap. This dedicated train is run every Saturday and Monday in the summer serving Princess Cruise lines passengers arriving in Whittier. The cars which normally ride on the rear of the regular Denali Star Passenger train are set out two nights a week and run a special train non stop from Whittier to Denali. This wood pile trestle at MP 114.3 crossing the salmon laden Ship Creek is right in downtown Anchorage only a hundred yards or so from the ARR's yard office. This shot was taken from the overpass on the then fairly new Ship Creek Trail a truly awesome little urban bike path and one of my favorite places in the city.
