The Best Looking Face In Railroading

Turning back 11 years and four cameras ago to the early years of my time in Alaska. With a front end that would make any Espee fan proud is Alaska Railroad GP40-2 3008 wearing the classic black and yellow scheme it was delivered in by EMD in 1976.

She is on the point of a 591W work train headed south near MP 65.5 approaching the 20 Mile River and the Junction with the Whittier Branch. This classic geep is still in service 12 years later but a couple years after this photo she was repainted in the modern blue and gold scheme that adorns the SD70MACs and all repaints.
