Subject: Alaska RR Memorial Day Weekend

Spring just does not seem to be able to break the grip of old man winter entirely here in Alaska. This Memorial Day Weekend I exercised my perogative as General Roundhouse Foreman and followed management directive to get out and ride a train. So I chose to ride the Anchorage -Seward passenger train on Saturday and here are some of the views from the headend. Lots of snow in them thar hills !
