Where is Fox Station?
Author: flynn

I found the following picture on the website below,

http://www.old-picture.com/american-adventure/Station-Trains-Fox-at.htm

The information given by the website, “Trains at Fox Station.” “You are viewing an impressive image of Trains at Fox Station. It was taken in 1916. The image shows Railroad cars.”

Picture 1, “Trains at Fox Station.”

The Terrain looks more like Fox Mountain, Colorado.

Hi,

This is Fox, Alaska on the Tanana Valley Ry. later the Alaska RR. The narrow gauge was
abandoned in 1930.

Fox is a bit north of Fairbanks.

After reading west’s reply I did a Google search for Fox, Alaska and got the following webpage,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox,_Alaska

On the Wikipedia webpage was the same picture as Picture 1 above but in a very large format. The Wikipedia picture was labeled, Trains of the Tanana Valley Railroad at the station in Fox, Alaska in 1916.

I used Microsoft Office Picture Manager and cropped the portion of the Wikipedia picture with the people and adjusted the brightness and contrast and got Picture 2 below.

Picture 2, Trains of the Tanana Valley Railroad at the station in Fox, Alaska in 1916. Cropped, Midtone 48, Contrast 29.
