| | History of the Tanana Valley Railroad |
 | | The Tanana Valley Railroad (TVRR), a 3 foot narrow-gauge operation, extended from Chena, a settlement on the Tanana River, to Fairbanks, with a branch to Chatanika. |
 | | In 1903, Joslin and Harrais traveled to the Tanana Valley to evaluate the possibility of building a railroad from the Tanana River to Fairbanks and the gold fields. |
 | | In 1907, the railroad was refinanced under a new name, the Tanana Valley Railroad and on May 15, 1907, construction began on the second phase of the TVRR, an extension of the trackage to Chatanika. |
