PROPOSED RAILWAY SHIPPING TRANSPORTATION
PIER 48 CENTRAL WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENT MISSION
The Mission and Vision of the Mayor Seattle Central Waterfront Committee, is to redevelop the Central Waterfront with the general concept of making the Seattle Central Waterfront a place that will bring people, Artist, business, commerce and merchants to re-habitat the area with interesting sights, sound and activities.
The Purpose of this web-page is to provide information and further an idea to the "Mayor Central Waterfront Committee" and People of Seattle, to introduce a viable concept to bring the Harbor of Elliott Bay alive with year round passenger ship services, towards idea of reinstating service to Alaska.
Thereby, creating necessary dialog and mutual understanding, to implement a working leadership core of interesting businessmen, investors, railway and trucking freight services, along with travel and tourism individual, to participate in the restoration of passenger ship services and application of railway technology improvement to Port of Seattle.
Currently, Railway Freight Car Shipping between Seattle & Whittier is done by "slow moving tug-barge" technology. Including, the movement of barge to differ ant port-dockside locations for "intensive overhead crane loading" of truck containers, construction equipment and vehicles. This service does not include passenger services.
The introduction of a motor-rail-passenger vessel to Seattle and Whittier, is "not intend to discontinue barge services", rather to enhance mobility of business opportunities, provide additional shipping services to bring new business to "Port of Seattle and Whittier".
Thus, allow Seattle and Alaska to increase rail passenger services, by the establishment of connections for "Private Railcar Passenger Industry, Amtrak/National Connecting Services, Rail Tourism Economic Development. To which Seattle become a major passenger terminal to Alaska
The Proposed Vessel SS Spartan, is a ship having the necessary requirements for use between Seattle and Whittier, including the vessel has national historic interest for being persevered under National Historical Places and Landmarks. Making the "Steam Ship Spartan" an ideal choice, financially feasible option and local ship yard retrofitting the ship for its new mission to employee crews. However, it should not be taken as an "only Option" toward select of a suitable vessel. Thereby, this proposal to use SS Spartan is to open a viable dialog, to toward development of such a services. Therefore, to further research for other available vessels or the option to build a new vessel.
The SS Spartan, can improve container/truck load shipping, railway traffic, and increase round-trip sailing schedules, with more reliable performance in shipping and tourism options.

MIGHTY SPARTAN SAILS AT 15.6 KNOTS
COAL-NATURAL GAS TO STEAM PROPULSION SHIP
WEATHER & SEA RELIABILITY
The S.S. Spartan was built for year 'round sea conditions, capable of sailing in almost all types of weather and seas encountered during her commission.
SS Spartan is one of the largest rail-passenger steam propulsion ferry ever built for Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to sail Lake Michigan, and has provided safe and reliable railway ferry transportation for twenty-seven years. The SS Spartan is a national treasure, It can offer 15.6 knots cruising speed between Whittier and Seattle shippers and the ultimate travel experience for business and vacation adventure.
SS Spartan is currently a coal-fired steamship with capacity to convert its four Foster-Wheeler water-tube type D boilers to "Natural Gas" fired boilers to generate 450psi with local domestic fuel, with intent is to preservation of ship's extraordinary historical commitment to maintaining a unique propulsion system that can be designated as a national mechanical engineering landmark. The SS Spartan would offer Alaska and Washington State an authentic railway steamship experience for business and tourism.
The 410' SS Spartan, know as the "Might Spartan" entered service in October 1952, designed specifically to handle the rough seas and weather conditions that it would likely encounter during year round sailing. Built primarily to transport railroad freight and passenger railcars, but with superior passenger services and accommodations, the Spartan reigned as "Might Spartan" railway steam ferry during the "Golden Era" of luxury railway servicing ports of call. By the Seventies, changing railroad economics condemned SS Spartan in September 1979 decommissioned mothball fleet.
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway never tapping into the opportunity to serve a wider diversity of transportation needs of the railway tourism.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Ferries demise was devastating to the communities, thousands of passengers and business services. However, in 2012, American Train Destination Lines entrepreneur named Louis Charles Hoffman Alloin committed "The Railway Business Car Service" to reinvent the Spartan, during depress economy and Seattle interest to redevelop the central waterfront toward active business center, that included increasing commercial venture for port industries in Seattle, Washington and Whittier, Alaska.
The Spartan remains unused, tied up in Ludington Harbor. However, the Spartan, like her sister ship, could still offer ferry service for large trucks, oversize loads, autos, railcars and a romantic journey between Alaska and Washington State.
The Seattle Central Waterfront Project, blends maritime and railway tradition with new innovation applications of technology, history, culture, arts and economic business development, inwhich the Spartan can afford a new opportunity to take a step forward to increasing maritime travel and shipping services.

COASTAL CLASSIC TRAIN SERVICES
The Coastal Classic Train is a local favorite that winds through the stretch of wilderness between Anchorage and Seward. A string of massive glaciers visible from the track enriches the journey. This train travels to the shores of Resurrection Bay for convenient connection to Kenai Fjords National Park, whale watching, sea kayaking, tidewater glacier viewing, fishing, and dog sled rides.
WHITTIER
The rail journey starts between the glacier-capped Chugach mountains and Prince William Sound. Built by the U.S. Government during World War II as a hidden port, today Whittier is the gateway to a recreational wonderland. The Alaska Railroad from Whittier all the way to Fairbanks has spectacular scenery from the edge of Prince William Sound through the Chugach mountains.
SEWARD
The southern terminus of the railroad begins its climb through primeval forests of Sitka spruce. After crossing Snowy River, Kenai Lake comes into view, set off with its stunning aqua color and surrounded by soaring mountains.
MOOSE PASS
Thirty miles into the rail journey winding through Moose Pass, at the shores of Trail Lake. As the rail ascends into the Kenai Mountains, it leaves behind the forests and reveals mountain meadows and streams of gin-clear glacial waters. Trail Glacier appears on the right and soon after, the summit of Grandview at 1,063 feet. The historic Loop District, named for a complex series of trestles built to handle the steep grade in the age of steam engines. In the same stretch, Bartlett Glacier crowds the track just 800 feet away.
PLACER RIVER VALLEY
After passing through a series of short tunnels, the train descends to the Placer River Valley near Spencer Glacier. Moose, bear and wolves populate the valley among the willow and alder trees. Trumpeter swans migrate through in spring and fall and arctic terns hover above the ponds and river looking for small fish and insects. Twelve miles later Turnagain Arm appears, where 40-foot tides rush into the narrow confines of the Chugach Mountains. Beluga whales pursue salmon and other schooling fish. Next comes Girdwood, home to Alaska's premier ski resort.
CHUGACH NATIONAL FOREST
The Chugach National Forest borders Turnagain Arm, some six million acres, the second largest in the U.S. Bald eagles cruise the thermals above and Dall sheep come to feed on the low plants growing on the cliffs bordering the railway. Next comes Potter Marsh in the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge.
GOLDSTAR SERVICE
Available on the Coastal Classic for summer. Now passengers can see the most beautiful stretch of the Alaska Railroad from the most beautiful cars and our exclusive upper level outdoor deck!

Confirmed seat in the upper-level dome car
