I was taking a closer look at the few shots I grabbed from the train of this area as a result of the post here -- this shot is the next one after the one above, which makes me believe a little more that the one above is Alaska Sand & Gravel:
For the guys who are into kitbashing bulk trailers, here's another possibility. What I learned on the trip was that the Alaska Railroad has changed a lot from the picture in the 1980s Pentrex video, for instance, with welded rail, a lot of CTC, and a lot of interchange with lower-48 railroads via car floats. It's no longer just a special case, which I like, because I don't focus on a single era, railroad, or region.
