http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/81 ... 2850c.html - I posted this on Flimsies last night, but I think it's worthy of note here as well. A tragic reminder that it doesn't matter if it's a museum/tourist railroad, or a mainline - Railroading is a dangerous industry.

Stay safe out there and keep the affected families in your thoughts and prayers.
