Remarks & Notes 
The ever-present risk involved with winter railroading in Alaska is very evident in this shot, as a northbound Whittier freight works by the remnants of two massive avalanches just north of Girdwood. Fortunately, no trains were in the area when these slides came down a few weeks earlier.

The coniferous and boreal forests of North America, found above about 44-45 degrees North, hold a magic all their own--especially when framing a long freight.
