The Phantom Ride

[Joe Allonby]

I have a fond memory of taking a train from Fairbanks to Anchorage via
Denali as a teenager. The track runs through some spectacular and
forbidding mountainous terrain. I stood between two cars with my
camera in my hand. My cousin and a friend hoisted me up over the roof
of the car just before the train entered a tunnel cut through the
mountain to snap the picture of the train entering it as if I were
riding on the roof. I wish I could find that one.
