From a recent email I received - "John, I haven't seen much on
the website in the last three weeks. What's up?" Well, quite a
bit actually. Just not anything connected with the website. I won't
bore you with the details, but I've got a lot on my plate right now.
One of the more serious items is someone (accidentally?) dropped a large
cement block on the interstate and I ran over it. Even though the vehicle
went slightly airborne I was able to maintain control. Unfortunately,
it may turn out that my car is a total loss. So stay tuned. I'll get
new things posted soon. - 5/28/12 |

557 info: The Alaska Railroad Corporation Open
House on May 5, 2012 will be your opportunity to visit Locomotive
#557 before she goes back into secure storage. The event will
run from 10 am to 4 p.m. at the Anchorage Depot. The parking
lots across from the Depot and to the East across C Street will be free
for the Open House. There is progress being made in the formation of
a 501-c organization that will raise the money and manage the
restoration and operation of Locomotive 557. The tender, donated by
the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry, Inc. will join the
locomotive when the ground at the Museum will support equipment to facilitate
the move. Number 557 has infinite patience, having waited
45 years for her repatriation to Alaska. Her return to service
will be accomplished in a careful, thorough restoration, respectful
of her Alaskan heritage. Many long time fans of the Alaska Railroad
and steam railroading have offered support for 557. When the new 557
support organization is in place they will be called on to deliver.
Come out on May 5th, visit with 557 and sign up to be on that call list.

On June 25, 2000 I met locomotive engineer Tim Gobbi while on my first
Alaska Railroad trip. He shared an incredibly fascinating story and
photos about his RDC hitting
a trailer at Rex crossing. His story has been turning over and over
in my mind ever since and I wished I had gotten copies of the photos
for our website. Over eleven years later, through the magic of Facebook,
I was able to locate Tim's wife and obtain scans of his photos as well
as the details of the accident. - 3/14/12 |
