Turning the Fair Train |
| Description: |
An Alaska Railroad relay crew turns and forwards the "State Fair Train" from Anchorage Yard to the Anchorage Depot. In just a short time the train will make its first of three days worth of trips to the state fairgrounds at Palmer. The conductor of a another job working the Port of Alaska waves to the crew as they roll over the switches he lined up for them. |

The State Fair at Palmer |
| Description: |
The real star from the 1985 action movie "Runaway Train" had an easy assignment during the week of my trip to Alaska of shuttling passengers to and from downtown Anchorage to the State Fairgrounds in Palmer. Shortly after arriving from a northbound deadhead run the crew prepares the train to turn back south for its last trip of the night. |
