Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Also called the Alaska Railroad Depot in Anchorage. It serves as the starting or ending point for many tourists traveling on the Denali Star and other luxury trains. The station is a Moderne concrete building, built in 1942.
The small locomotive in front is a Davenport 18-ton 0-4-0 ST (Saddle Tank) steam locomotive. I found this in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner: "An article by A.M. Bouche on the AlaskaRails.org website states that the locomotive was built in 1907 in Davenport, Iowa, as a narrow-gauge locomotive (a 3-foot distance between the rails). The engine was acquired new by the Isthmian Canal Commission (ICC) — the U.S. commission that oversaw construction of the Panama Canal. Numbered Engine 802 by the ICC, it was shipped to Panama where it and three other Davenport locomotives worked on the Miraflores Locks — the locks closest to the Pacific side of the canal. Bouche also states that at least a dozen narrow-gauge locomotives were used during construction of the canal’s three sets of locks: Miraflores, Gatun, and Pedro Miguel." |
