This is truly a motley consist probably on its way to the Alaska State Fair in the early 80's.  Fall is in the air.   1502 retired in 1985,  Power car 4 was built from a Troop Kitchen car with a matching passenger roof added.  There are four of the ex Amtrak / Southern coaches received in 1981. Bringing up the rear is a baggage car and caboose.  This is on the Palmer Branch running North to the fair grounds.   It was typical in those days for the train to discharge passengers at the fairgrounds and then back 5 miles down to the Matanuska wye, turn the train and then back up to the fair grounds near springer road and wait for an evening departure for Anchorage.
