Railroad Alaska TV Series
Posted by CMStPnP on Saturday, June 25, 2016 10:20 PM

OK just curious here.   In regards to this TV Series I noticed that it seems everytime they film they have three Alaska Railroad crew members in the cab of the locomotive.  Is this just for filming or does Alaska still use three person crews to operate a train?

It would be great if the show covered other railroads in the united states instead of just Alaska.

Other railroads in the US don't support the 'off the grid' Alaskan that makes the stories for the show.

Like Alaska truck drivers, Alaska fishermen, Alaska gold miners... I'm suprised they don't have a "Housewives of Alaska"

Big Smile I think some folks still believe in fairy tales. Is there any other railroad that would stop for a track side pick up here in this country? ( been workin in a lead mine too long).

Y6bs evergreen in my mind
