My 74 year old memory may be faulty, but I do not recall any such article in any issue of Trains since 1950. Perhaps Al Kalmbach did ask for such in the first ten years of Trains. I became aware the existence of railroads in this area only from the SPV Atlas which covers Alaska.

Here is a link to a web site that will answer lots of questions about railroading and various other railroad proposals in the Northern environs:

and if you follow this link: http://www.railsnorth.com/rails_to_riches.html This is the link to the Rails to Riches section on the Home Page and look at the bottom of the Rails to Riches page and you will find each road you have enquired about listed and in a couple of cases they are linked to additional information.
