What month/year? That's a very short Coastal Classic.

WOW! If that's not IOTD material, I don't know what is! Beautiful shot!

i'm long overdue on going back up there myself, want to really explore the Alaska Railroad!

Neat shot qman. Very short consist for June. Did you get attacked by Arctic Terns and mosquitos? Portage is famous for both. I used to hate getting out there to line switches. Gotta' slather on deet and wear a hat. The terns will peck your head if you get near a nest. The even dive bomb the trains as we go through there.

Great pic!!
