Alaska Railroad Whittier Maintenance Yard

About Alaska Railroad Whittier Maintenance Yard

To reach Whittier you wait your turn at the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, then roll two and a half miles through the mountain on a single lane shared with the trains. On the far side, Passage Canal opens toward Prince William Sound, waterfalls thread down the cliffs, and Begich Towers rises fourteen stories over a town where most residents live under that one roof. Summer here is brief and soaked, and what grass there is grows lush between the storms. Alaska Railroad Whittier Maintenance Yard covers lawn care in Whittier, mowing and trimming the green that manages to take hold. In a place ringed by rock, ice and water, a neatly mown patch of lawn feels like a small, hard-won luxury.
