STK-ID 121

The Alcan Highway: shots of a dog being hitched to the sled, of trucks leaving Whitehorse for the rest of the trip to Fairbanks. Two shots of snow blower in action. LS of army camp at Lake Llewellyn, and cut to sentry standing guard over row of snow-covered artillery pieces. Shots of fire built under a bulldozer to thaw machine. LS of a bridge, ice being blasted, and several shots of trucks moving on the Alcan Highway - much snow everywhere, show-covered mountain slopes in the background.
