Port Townsend, today. Whilst checking out details for an up coming blog article, ran across this newsworthy item about the return of the mixed train on the Alaska Railroad.
Makes perfect economic sense!
Mixed Train at Kitimat, May 1959Mixed trains were common once upon a time. I remember the mixed train that ran from Terrace to Kitimat BC. Never rode it, but saw it on several occasions. That train was busy during the week, carrying saw mill workers and logging camp personnel.
There is a ambiance surrounding a mixed train in that there is a certain logic in the assemblage of cars. And on the Kitimat Subdivision, the pace was slow - 2.5 hours to travel 38.5 miles!
