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. |
