Watch Alaska Railroad’s “Graffiti Train” as it Lumbers Along in the Rain & Comes to a Grinding Halt
The Alaska Railroad’s “Graffiti Train” consists of a motley linkage of railroad cars long past their prime being hauled by locomotives that have seen better days as well, including one with faded Union Pacific Railroad markings.
Among the hauled cars are a number draped with graffiti as seen in this video. Stockpiled in remote rail yards, the cars were evidently easy prey as canvases for graffiti artists and, as seen, represent a level of graffiti talent approaching art.
Yesterday's video capture of Ultra Dome Cars and an Ultra Dome Car's Viewing Platform brought to mind my having experienced taking in the views from the viewing platform. I went back and located a previously unpublished video of the experience which is shared here in the below linked just posted video.
First though, here is a screenshot from yesterday's filming of the viewing platform on an Ultra Dome Car:

In addition to the enhanced viewing experience promised by the high level domes, these cars also make available rail level viewing platforms,
In this video share in the experience of being on one of the boring platforms as the train passes through forested landscape and on to the banks of the Susitna River with its rushing waters.
Continue on to enjoy the thrill of watching the train take on a challenging curve as it disappears in the distance.
