| Post subject: | Alaskaland 'Harding Railroad Car' |
I'm compiling a list of the railroad cars and locomotives which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (using info directly from the NRIS database), but I have a few unanswered questions. Perhaps someone can help with the following listing:<p>"Harding Railroad Car", Listed in 1978, located at AlaskaLand in Fairbanks. Anyone have any info on what this car is? Thanks!

A couple of referance books indentify an Alaska Railroad business car named DENALI as being at Alaskaland (Pioneer Memorial Park).<p>President Harding did travel to Alaska to drive the Alaska Railroad gold spike. It was during the return from this trip that Harding died in San Francisco.<p>Brian Norden<br> bnorden@gateway.net |
