This was called the Doodlebug. It was used take passengers between the Suntrana Coal Mine and Healy before there was a road. Healy was an Alaska Railroad depot stop. I lived in Suntrana as a young lad with my family. My father was a miner there from 1952 to 1961 when Suntrana Mining Co. was sold to Usibelli Mine Co. Lots of memories.
