Trains Across America - Part 21

[BNSFandSP]

Uh... don't you have to go through CN, CP, or BCR before hitting ARR?

[mrlrrconductor]

@BNSFandSP Nope, its called a barge, there is no rail link to Alaska

ARR=Awsome RailRoad

[BlackWolfessUSCM]

Alaska's not a common railroad to be modeled in any scale, I'm glad someone has :)

[modeltrainfanatic98]

@BlackWolfessUSCM I know right I live there

[83dubbie]

hello! How are you? I love the layout and the videos Excellent job. I was wondering how you got the sounds for the air couplers the wheels skreaching and clanking I have seen several videos with this sound and have not figured how they done it.

[mrlrrconductor]

I use real train sounds from videos I have and sounds I found from the internet and dub them in using windows movie maker.

[BNforever2009]

those sounds, sounds like Chicago Transit Authority 6000 or 1 thru 50 series cars turning on the Chicago Loop. I miss those sounds and riding those old el cars. I might get a Athearn Genesis SD-70M in ARR. Run that in Pool power with my ZGM and CP coal trains.

[BlackWolfessUSCM]

I live about a block from the El. And even though my hubby and roommates complain about the noise at night, I don't. It's awesome.

[bechho]

Great Video. Sad to know that the layout is now a thing of the past. Will look out for when you have your new layout in place.

By the way: how far in Canada/US can Alaska RailRaod pick up cars? are there any connection between ARR and CP/CN or some regional railroad in NorthWestern Canada ?

[mrlrrconductor]

There is no actual rail link....yet. The ARR in prototype recives its cars by a rail barge. But I wanted to feature the ARR in TAA so in this world the rail link is there.

[TransamJc]

i would think that the arr gets it from the cp

[mrlrrconductor]

The ARR interchanges cars with the BNSF and UP out of Seattle, and the CN out of Vancouver andPrince George I think.
