Regularly scheduled freight services started running again Tuesday, Dec. 4.<br \/>\nARR suspended all service after the quake in order to assess damage along its nearly 500 miles of trackage and to begin repairs. Some sections of track were damaged or deemed impassable and required immediate repairs. In particular, an area 45 miles north of Anchorage sustained cracks up to four feet wide and 150 feet long on both sides of the tracks.<br \/>\n&#8220;We could not be more pleased with the work our crews have done to get the Alaska Railroad back up and running in just over 72 hours,&#8221; Dale Wade, vice president of marketing and customer service said in a press release. &#8220;This incredible effort from railroaders speaks to the grit and perseverance of Alaska and its people. We are happy to be able to return to serving our passengers and freight customers so quickly.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe first passenger trains to run as scheduled will be the Winter Hurricane Turn Train on Thursday, Dec. 6, followed by the regularly scheduled Aurora Winter Trains and Holiday trains this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Alaska Railroad (ARR) is back up and running after Friday&#8217;s 7.0-magnitude earthquake.
