Alaska Railroad tells House committee it is financially self‑sustaining, outlines major capital projects and readiness to support Alaska LNG Alaska Railroad leaders told the House Transportation Committee the railroad operates as a self‑sustaining public corporation, outlined capital programs (track, bridges, Seward passenger dock), pending federal grants and bond tools, and said the railroad is prepared to support Alaska LNG logistics once the developer issues a final investment decision.

The Alaska Railroad is not just a lifeline for transportation but a self-sustaining powerhouse ready to tackle major infrastructure projects and support new energy initiatives!

Alaska Railroad outlines logistics, equipment gaps and new IRS ruling tied to possible gas pipeline Alaska Railroad officials told the Senate Resources Committee they can move large-diameter pipe and have identified spurs, terminal work and up to 300 long flat cars as potential needs. They also said a recent IRS revenue ruling could enable tax-exempt conduit bonds, though any bond issuance would require board action and explicit legislative authorization.

The Alaska Railroad is gearing up to transport massive amounts of pipe for a potential gas pipeline, but they need crucial upgrades and funding to make it happen.

Alaska Railroad train crossing the Knik River in a winter scene against the backdrop of the Chugach Mountains.

Finally finished! After taking a bit longer than expected to post, I’m excited to share my latest painting: “Knik River Crossing”—named in honor of the scene it captures.

"Knik River Crossing"
9x12 on Arches hot-pressed paper
Painted with (mostly) Holbein gouache

#gouache #painting #AlaskaRailroad

Alaska Railroad train crossing the Knik River, partially completed painting.

Of course, the Knik River is a big part of this painting. In the winters, it's often partially frozen with just a channel of water open while ice stretches out from the shores.
