ALASKA 2-8-2 MIKADO JR #701 First used on the Nippon Railway in Japan in 1897, the 2-8-2 class steam locomotive was nicknamed “Mikado”, meaning “emperor” in Japanese. Gaining popularity in the United States before WWI, numerous 2-8-2 locos thundered across American high iron. New for 2008 are Mikado locomo-tives featuring the RailSounds sound system. The Texas & Pacific Mikado is TMCC-equipped, and the Alaska Railroad Mikado operates with any standard transformer. Handsome blue and yellow passenger cars are also available in the Alaska livery.
