130N At NSS Reves
This is a little noisy and not the sharpest image but it's still cool. I'm not sure if I was alone or if Frank was with me, but this was one of our favorite spots.
We loved taking advantage of getting a rec pass from the Army wander around out in the wilds of the giant military reservation that the Alaska Railroad threaded through on its way north. On this cloudy late summer evening the clouds shrouding the Chugach Mountains are dramatic as a big 130N north OX is seen passing the north end of Reves siding and swinging into the broad curve here at MP 129.2 only 15 miles into their 356 mile overnight journey. On the headpin trailing the twin SD70MACs is a block of loaded ABI cement hoppers trailed by the normal 80 or more empty tank cars headed back to the huge Flint Hills North Pole Refinery for another load of jet fuel....back in better days.
