Kris Alaska Railroad Boxcars

The Alaska Railroad is unique in the U.S. as it carries both freight and passengers throughout its system. All Kris Alaska Railroad boxcars have an eskimo graphic and the slogan AT YOUR SERVICE on the car sides. Variations noted are from the Kris Model Trains chapter of Greenberg's Guide to Kusan Trains.
