The Alaska Railroad Corp. said Nov. 24 that it will release its 2010 annual print during two public sale-and-singing events in mid-December, each featuring print artist Stefan Wilson who will be on hand to sign the prints and posters. The first event will be held in Fairbanks, Saturday, Dec. 12, at the Fairbanks Depot, 1745 Johansen Expressway. The second event will be in Anchorage, Saturday, Dec. 19, at the Historic Ship Creek Depot, 411 W. 1st Ave. Both will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The water-based acrylic painting titled “Next Stop, Anchorage,” depicting a passenger train moving northwest along scenic Turnagain Arm, was created using a combination of airbrush and paintbrush, and is the first annual print to feature the Goldstar first-class double-decker dome coaches. Prints cost $55, posters cost $30 and pins cost $5. For more information visit www.akrr.com.
