More random photographs. I did a 2 year stint working in Whittier as the mobile mechanic covering Girdwood to Seward.

The P31 and P32 cars have a unique Cummins motor for HEP power. They are “prototype” V12’s and I was told the AK railroad owns 2 of the only 4 produced. Here the twin turbos glow during a load test.

View from the mechanic's room in the BTI tower in Whittier. The railroad shop is just to the right of the red roofed Anchor Inn bar about midway right side of the photo. 5/2/2018
