ARR 4002 Anchorage 16 Mar 12 - a photo on Flickriver

            ARR 4002 leads a coal train out of the yard in Anchorage, AK for a run south on a sunny late winter evening.

This is the first photo in a series I'm calling Alaska Revisited.  I'm going back through my shots from my time there and seeing what I have to work with.  Some will be alternate shots of images already uploaded (i.e. mash vs. a wider angle shot), some will be from different angles, and some will be completely new.  I'm not sure what I have in total, but for whatever reason, they didn't get consideration the first time through.  

This was only the second Alaska Railroad train I caught after having moved to The Last Frontier less than two weeks prior.  I spotted this guy in the yard and repositioned over to Elderberry Park and walked a bit north on the Tony Knowles Trail to get this shot.  The Tony Knowles trail parallels the tracks for some ways in Anchorage, but I was never able to get much use out of it as far as shots go.  I did chase this guy down the Turnagain Arm, but was unsuccessful while having to deal with Friday rush hour traffic and being unfamiliar with the turnoffs along the Seward Highway.
