ARR 4006 Chase South 24 Nov 12 - a photo on Flickriver

            This compilation video shows a chase of ARR 4006 as it leads a freight train south toward Seward.  Filming locations include Rainbow, Bird Point, and Moose Pass, AK.  As seen in the video, this train departed Anchorage well before sunrise which, at this time of year, didn't occur until ~1000L, so the first two locations were shot before the sun came up over the Chugach Mountains.

The tide in the Turnagain Arm, home of some of the largest boretides in the world, is on its way out.  Photos and video along the Turnagain always turn out better when there's more water than not, so I was lucky to at least have some water present!

The final location in Moose Pass is, to me, a little slice of heaven.  I just wish this location saw more than one or two trains per week in the winter time.  If there were more trains, I'd probably camp out here for days at a time!  As it is though, you have to take what you can get.

Also, Chris Laskowski, *this* is why you need to bring C. Vision Productions up here!
