    It certainly seems to wander here, there and almost everywhere. Does not appear to be very heavy utilized. What sort of power switches that run? How many active shippers?

    No more MP15's? What are they using to switch it now? GP38-2? GP40-2?

    Looks like you can forget about buying a lot of ballast if you plan on building this- looks like grass is the order of the day.

    I see this layout built on a shelf or two around a room, similar to Lance Mindheim's CSX Miami Spur.

    As an ex-Anchorage resident, where is that exactly I can't reference the area by memory.

    Thanks Chuck, I remember following that track but I did it in the winter and it looked a lot different then. I worked on the other end of Government Hill, in the old Chevron Warehouse which is now owned by Inlet Petroleum. Also worked for Green Construction with our offices on 5th Street between A&C.
