Pushing Snow
3.19.14: I saw this train departing Anchorage and since was looking to be a sunny day after a recent snowfall I figured my chances were good. I stopped here at Beluga Point and while the sun had officially risen it had yet to clear the Chugach Mountains lending a pre-dawn feel to this shot.

Drift Explosion
3.15.14: The weather man said 2-5 inches of snow last night clearing into sunshine for Saturday. Well I would guess we got a good 12 inches, so when I found out the coal train was called late I decided to see what things looked like down south. Sun was just clearing the Chugach Mountains at Beluga so I continued south, saw a few good size drifts at Brookman so waited for the train there. I wasn't disappointed. It looks Engineer Tony Aron, Conductor Leon Butler and Brakeman Jason White had a beautiful snow filled trip to Seward. Seen here bucking snow at Brookman on what turned out to be a pretty nice Saturday.
