With all the Chaos Surrounding it, How Was the Alaska Railroad Ever Built?



Episode 57: With all the Chaos Surrounding it, How Was the Alaska Railroad Ever Built?

One of the greatest mysteries in Alaska – even though it is quite visible to the naked eye – is the Alaska Railroad. Every year, more than 400,000 visitors to Alaska ride the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage to Fairbanks with a stop in Denali National Park.  And it is not a modest railway. It has 656 miles of track and carries 5.11 million tons of freight annually. It has only been owned by the State of Alaska since 1985, but before that, it was the only federally owned and operated railroad.

With all the Chaos Surrounding it, How Was the Alaska Railroad Ever Built?

He specializes in the impossible crime and the Alaska Gold Rush.  An impossible crime is one in which the detective must figure out HOW the crime was committed before he can go after the perpetrators.  As an example, in THE MATTER OF THE VANISHING GREYHOUND, the detective must figure out how a Greyhound bus with four bank robbers, a dozen hostages, and  $10 million can vanish off the Golden Gate Bridge.

He also does two historical uploads a week.  Send Steve your email, and he will include it in the mailings.
