Nomad of Mid-America
Keen Eye on the Kenai
The imposing mile-and-a-half long sheet of ice known as Explorer Glacier peers out from its vantage 2200 feet above in the Kenai Mountains, staying largely inconspicuous due to the obscurity of dense fog on a gloomy Alaskan summer day. Far below, all 6 headlights illuminate the way for the engineer gazing out the L glass of his Alaska original GP40-2 still wearing its factory 1970s black and yellow colors, skirting the marshes and ponds along Turnagain Arm with train 120N en route to the state capital of Anchorage. In tow are goods fresh off the rail barge connecting Alaska at the port of Whittier with the Lower 48, manifest including just about anything and everything from containerized cargo to trucks, steel products, and carload traffic.
