I’m a member of the Friends of Tanana Valley Railroad, which restored an old Porter locomotive and operates a museum at Pioneer Park in Fairbanks. A couple of days ago I checked out the scrap pile where the TVRR keeps old railroad-related parts it might need someday> Here are a few photos of what I found.
