ARR 3001 |
| Description: |
This matched set of as-delivered black Geeps have been paired together for the past few weeks. They can be seen hanging out around the engine shops on the south end of the yard, and I've been wanting a shot of them for quite some time. One tidbit: You would think ARR 3001 would be the class unit of these GP40-2s, but trailing ARR 3006 is actually the class unit. It was built as ARR 3000, and, for some reason, it was re-numbered to 3006. Anyone know when or why? |

ARR 3010 |
| Description: |
ARR 3010 and another two GP40-2s lead a southbound freight bound for the barge in Whittier near Indian. There was another barge in at Seward, but this one was the more interesting train to chase. Despite the poor weather, I was out mainly to get video of this train. If you're interested, you can check it out in HD here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di8p8OOEin0 |

ARR 3006 |
| Description: |
Original paint scheme'd GP40-2 leads a lone hopper under the only signal bridge like it on the Alaska Railroad back toward the yard in Anchorage. I've dubber this industrial job as "The Trundler" as it spends most of its time on a rickety mile-long spur which serves local industries. You can see my video camera on the right side of this shot and if you're interested, you can see video of The Trundler's day here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEslYZnkucA |

ARR 3006 |
| Description: |
The APU Spur job works along E. 1st Ave in Anchorage as ARR 3006 splices 2 covered hoppers for the Alaska Mill Feed & Garden Center. The reason it's configured this way is because the customer has two spurs, one for fertilizer and one for feed. One of those spurs is a facing point move and the other is a trailing point move. |

They're also the only two to receive this style of nose herald, something to take note of for you modelers out there. |
