During the summer of 2017 I worked as a tour guide for Premier Alaska Tours, truly the greatest experience of my 45 years on earth and the most joyful job I've ever had for countless reasons.
One of the nice perks as a railfan was that every tour had at least one segment on the railroad with my guests riding in the luxury of one of Premier's four former Royal Celebrity Tours custom build Colorado Railcar glass topped by level cars. And while on board my guests had a car host that narrated and served them so my time was left to catch up on reservations and bookings and then just socialize, enjoy a great meal in the dining room downstairs and photograph to my hearts content. Since these luxury cars always road the rear of the Denali Star I had the chance to shoot going away views out the back windows or enjoy side views from the open lower level observation platforms.
On this dreary day I was headed to Denali with a group of folks on a fun 5 day pre tour that ended in Seward where they met their vessel for their cruise south. Day 3 of this tour was train day with a four hour and 120 mile trip from Fairbanks to Denali Park.
About 30 min into the trip I captured this image as our train 230S crawled into the north end of the 6727 ft siding at Ester at MP 459.7 for a meet with the northbound 130N freight only 10 miles from its destination after a 356 mile 12 hr overnight run from Anchorage. The twin SD70MACs lead a long string of TOFC trailers as their headlights reflect off the polished white flank of the PAT coaches.
