ARR 3010
Title:  ARR 3010
Description:  The wind whisks the snow off the mountain tops as ARR 3010 pops out of the 5,050'-long Portage Tunnel in Bear Valley. If you've seen the movie 'Runaway Train', you've already seen this particular unit (it was the lead unit in the movie) as well as this tunnel and bridge!

ARR 3010
Title:  ARR 3010
Description:  A southbound freight train headed for Whittier sweeps around the bend near Rainbow with a trio of GP40-2s on the point. It's a tight squeeze along here with the waters of the Turnagain Arm to the right, the Seward Highway on the left, and the cliffs of the Chugach Mountains beyond that.

The State Fair at Palmer
