Nostalgia & History > ARR 4015 @ West Seattle, Wa; Spring, 2000

ARR 4015, along with running mates 4013 & 4014 are seen in West Seattle, Washington on a spring afternoon in 2000

There were two docks that serviced Alaskan traffic in Seattle at the time. The dock in West Seattle (BN/SF) that these locomotives were destined for is since no longer in service, in favor of the dock on Harbor Island, serviced by UP

An excellent photo series.  ARR units certainly look sharp.
Thanks for the photo posting.

Nice views of these new units. Thanks for posting.

Was the Seattle-Alaska Hydro Train service still in operation at that time? I thought they were the ones connected to the UP.

Did Seattle-Alaska Hydro Train have any locomotives?  I've seen pictures of their boxcars, covered hopper cars and auto racks.

Thanks for posting these great pics, they are impressive and great looking locomotives. Here is a pic of 4015 in service as the last unit in a consist getting ready to head south on a freight out of Fairbanks for Anchorage in June of 2011. Shot from the the train that runs between Anchorage and Fairbanks. Note it has also received the name "Spirit of North Pole".
