W. S. Johnston who was TM here in Lincoln when I hired out in 1956 was GM of the ALASKA RAILROAD for awhile in the 1960's.

I agree, a brilliant trip.  And thinking about the CB&Q connection, wasn't the Burlington involved with a railroad in Alaska?

Couldn't agree with you more

The ride starts out flat. Then you see a hint of a scar impossibly high on the side of a mountain and you say "no way is that the RR"...but it is!  And when you get THERE the whole thing happens again!!! 

Built over two years with mostly green non-laborer gold seekers!!

Today the appropriation for government feasibility plan approval would take ten years...
