Snow Train Recovery.

The Snow Train was left by the side of the trail and was later pulled out to the Taylor Highway useing Cats pulling one unit at a time. The Taylor Highway should have been named the Goat Trail as it was a narrow and steep trail through the 40 mile country that ran some 160 miles into Eagle from the Akaska Highway at Tetlin Junction. I took on the task of recovering this crippled machine and takeing it out to the Highway. I transported my Cat bulldozer up to Boundry on the Alaska, Yukon border where these 6 units were located and in minus 62 degree weather began moveing thse big rigs one at a time down the road. There were several bridges across rivers that the big 16 foot wide rigs were wider than the bridges, so I had to build ice roads and take these units across the rivers off to one side or the other, this turned out to be quite a big operation, with -60 weather and many other unforseen problems we ran into,all of these complete story's and many more in my book 18 Wheels North to Alaska, available at, publicationconsultants.com . There is ample material within this book about this historic journey and other story's of the Alaskan and Arctic north to make a great movie, read it, you will like it. End Snow Train Story. Start of many more excerpts from book and other tales.
