| Remarks & Notes |
| The nightly freigh from Fairbanks to Anchorage has dropped off the 1.25% grade of Wasilla hill and is accelerating through the Palmer Hay Flats just north of Matanuska Junction and just about an hour north of it's final terminal. The moderately sized train of 4344 ft and 6731 trailing tons heavy with jet fuel from Flint Hills Resources in North Pole destined for the Anchorage International Airport. The Talkeetna Mountains rise in the background and here in the foreground is a replica of a trappers cache which was used to keep furs and meet inaccessable from wolves, bears, and assorted other four legged wilderness raiders. |
