Destination America: The Alaska Railroad
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-Chief“Following an elite crew of workers—brakemen, engineers, construction crews, mechanics and train drivers—Railroad Alaska illustrates the battle against ferocious weather and treacherous terrain to keep the State of Alaska’s critical 500-mile long railroad rolling to deliver life sustaining supplies. From controlled avalanches to prevent catastrophe, to fascinating characters like Jim James, the one-handed handy man, learn what it takes to keep this train on track.”
