Jon Radder said:Great. I wanted a modern bridge for my ALCANEX layout. Looks like now I have one. And for the next 8 months it will remain the RR Bridge to Nowhere.
Looks like a Garden Metal Models bridge to me. Nice stuff.
You can always tell when the days are getting real short in Alaska. Ron becomes a prolific poster 
I would have thought that we have less daylight now here in the Northeast US, but a check of the charts show…
New York Sunrise 6:49 AM Sunset 4:49 PM - 12 hours 3 minutes of daylight
Anchorage Sunrise 7:50 AM Sunset 7:52 PM - 12 hours 2 minutes of daylight
So Ron has only lost about 1 minute so far on them New Yawkers. Does the difference grow as we near Winter Soltice ?

WINTER SHUT-DOWN: All the locomotives which contain built-in batteries for remote battery control have been moved into the bar. Most of the rolling stock that was in use this year is parked either in Cicely or below in the Cantwell RR yard for the winter. Given one more good day and enough time, I will still pull out a locomotive to run the rails because there is no snow so far. Nothing has run in about a week due to cold weather and other adverse conditions.
UPDATE: We seem to have entered a long period of rain and clouds interspersed with gusts. Given another day of sunshine (dries out the track and gives us SOME heat) I can run the train ONE more time. STILL waiting !
