MP A8, this was the point the ARR left the track from here to the depot. Sometime in the 1970s the ARR pulled the track from the Moose Creek area to MP A8. Jimmy Cook a retired MOW foreman told me the track ended at a large dirt pile at MP A8, there was a milepost right at that spot. A few times rail cars were stored for a short time for unknown reasons. The local freights would sometimes go as far as MP A8 for switching purposes when they were longer, sometimes they would wait out some time here prior to finishing their chores and heading back to Anchorage. Track Inspectors were required to inspect the track once a month to A8, and some section crews enjoyed lunch here. This went on until sometime in the 1980s, south about 300 feet a section of rail was taken up, Jimmy Cook mentioned is was for a repair near the depot. The railroad had talked about relaying the tracks into Sutton from the mid 1970s to the 1980s when an interested party tried to open Wishbone Hill for coal mining. That would be a good reason why they pulled track up a few times instead all at once.
