Makes you wonder about the Ted Stevens Military Funding for 4 MACs for the ARR. If there's too much power, why spend tax payer $$$'s on 4 more MACs? Why did...
Add to that the frequency of these military moves. Most of the Stryker moves to and from Alaska are handled through the North Yard in the Port of Tacoma. They...
What a bad idea for those units!! Ive seen how the railroads here treat the leased locos, the ARR should have these sent back and sell off two of the other...

If this genset left I did not see it, from the Elliot Bay side. However, I missed a lot of the loading this week. It's difficult to explain how hard you are...
It's here! I just walked out of the AOC (Anchorage Operation Center) and looked to see what MP15s were sitting around but instead it was just NREX 2007 where...
