Nostalgia & History > ARR 1508 @ Whittier, Ak; June, 1983Date: 05/15/19 13:44 ARR 1508 @ Whittier, Ak; June, 1983 Author: JFArrFan ARR 1508 is seen leading an early cruise train into Whittier on a Sunday in June of 1983. Note the use of an old troop boxcar for the end of train. The passenger unloading area has since been upgraded
