This shot has been in the making for over a month. I have been scouting locations, checking train schedules, keeping an eye on the weather forecast, and a little luck. I was finally able to get the shot that I wanted. The snow-peaked mountains in the background. The Alaska wildflowers in the foreground. The Coastal Classic passenger train coming down the tracks. Now I just need to go back to redo the train over the bridge shot. Then I will finally be satisfied! This was shot along the Seward Highway just outside of Girdwood, Alaska
Train 4326 at Indian, Alaska.
A shot of Alaska Railroads Coastal Classic train. In the summer this train will run from Anchorage to Girdwood to Seward round trip.
