One avalanche hits freight train, another closes Whittier tunnel
PORTAGE -- An avalanche crashed down on an Alaska Railroad train south of Portage, injuring no one but likely closing the track for several days, a spokesman said.
The avalanche late Wednesday smashed into a freight train about 15 miles south of Portage. The snow buried at least 10 of the train's 64 cars and threw some off the tracks, said railroad spokesman Tim Thompson.
