Alaska Railroad Repairing Flood Damage: Costs Expected to be "Substantial"

Alaska Railroad officials said Sunday night that track repair crews continue working day and night to repair a major washout that has left 500 feet of the mainline track dangling just south of Gold Creek, about 35 miles north of Talkeetna.  Officials say once the washout is repaired train traffic can resume north of Wasilla. Crews estimate repair will be completed by Wednesday.
