CN SD40 5161

Taken from "Alaska's Wilderness Rails" by Ken C. Brovald "CN SD40 N0. 5161 is in Anchorage on April 20, 1983 to dedicate a 425-foot 5,249-ton, 56-car capacity rail barge for 'Aqua Train' service between Prince Rupert, BC, and Whitter, Alaska. This occasion marks the first time a foreign line locomotive and business car has been on the Alaska Railroad. The engine proved to be too heavy for the bridges and was left in Anchorage, while lighter FP7s pulled the 300-passenger special to Whitter. Ken C. Brovald photo"
