Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

September 10, 1930

Railroad tracks of the Matanuska branch of the Alaska Railroad cross the foreground of this summer image. In middle ground stand the concrete ruins of the Sutton Coal Washery including low walls paralleling the tracks with a slightly elevated platform with concrete steps at far left. The upper story and roof of a building are partially visible above the wall at right middle ground and tall power poles are apparent in front of thick cottonwood forest forming the backdrop in near background.
