Unlike the notable places that had come before, it was the birth of the Alaska Railroad that in turn, gave birth to Curry. Curry served the many facets of the Alaska Railroad operations and passengers, boasting a wonderful, grand hotel and many other amenities, in the middle of an early, wild Alaska. A California Congressman, the Alaska Central Railroad, Susitna River streaboats, Alaska Nellie, Deadhorse Hill, and a devastating fire, all play a part in the story of the once vibrant, now vanished Alaska Railroad community of Curry, AlaskaMarsh, Kenneth L. is the author of 'Lavish Silence: A Pictorial Chronicle of Vanished Curry, Alaska: A Unique Alaska Railroad Community' with ISBN 9780971830219 and ISBN 0971830215.
