Shipping freight is the lion's share of the Alaska Railroad's revenue and it comes as no surprise a healthy hunk of the 3.5 million tons of commodities per year arrives via the rail barge. Flat cars are the back bone of ARRC freight car fleet with an arsenal of 296 flat cars available to handle a wide variety of items such as pipe, trailers, containers, camping trailers, military equipment, lumber and well, pert near anything. In this case ARR 18636 is transporting a Manitou MRT 3570 all-terrain rotating telescopic handler with tilt and slewing forks and platform. This unit was shipped from Western Pacific's Arlington, Washington office and is bound via freight train to Anchorage. Man, I'd sure have fun having one of these to play with at my home. Check out other unusual freight items here. |
