A Fishing Story - 1989 the f/v My Colleen
by C. C. Crow photos by author
On one of my days off I simply hung around the campground.
The railroad crosses a stream basin on a large trestle nearby that I decided to
investigate. Any railfan would be thrilled to catch a train passing through this
picturesque setting. I had it much better, a work train, leveling out the
structure. So that's how they do that.
DENALI NATIONAL PARK, Work Train

7-11 TUE
Rest day, decided to take vacation from vacationing. Sleep in till
9:30. I take walk under and over railroad bridge. I walk over to Riley and get
a ticket for next morning. Wash my hair, check out RR station and
take photos of train. Take more photos when southbound comes in. A
work train levels out the bridge. Pretty interesting. Back at camp
I read and relax. Help Brit figure out his tent.

I didn't realize it until after the work train had left that
I could have legally walked out on the trestle as it is a footpath! Some trail.
I can't think of a railroad trestle in the lower 48 that you are allowed to walk
across. The RR cops would be all over you in Seattle. I love Alaska.
