ARR 4321 |
| Description: |
As the days were getting longer, the Aurora Winter Train became a viable option to go and shoot. During the winter, this train will leave Anchorage on Saturday morning and run to Fairbanks. The next morning, it will depart Fairbanks and head back home to Anchorage. Here it is running through the middle of nowhere (I was out on some snow mobile trail somewhere) on its weekly Sunday run. |
