| Title: |
Runaway Train |
| Description: |
"These slides have April 1985 dates, so I'm assuming that I must have taken these in March of that year. We (Mark Hemphill and I) had known about the train for a couple of weeks, but the weather had been more grim than usual. So finally, since filming was to conclude soon, I made the trek down to Portage anyway. I can still feel the snow/rain/sleet/freezing rain and the ever present wind when I look at these pictures. I found the train sitting on the Whittier branch. There were a bunch of trailers for the movie folks in the parking lot. There were movie people milling around the trailers. As I was struggling to get out to the train (as the fresh snow was waist deep) a movie employee told me that I couldn't go back to where the train was and that the area was off limits. I replied that it was okay as I was a railroad employee and kept going." - Jonathan Fischer - December 27, 2011. |

| Description: |
Heres Alaska Railroad 1801 in a Screen Shot from the 1986 Film "Runaway Train." Today, This unit works for the Respondek Rail Corp. as #1800. Note the High Hood in the movie.

The road number of this unit was confirmed by a former employee, Obie Meeks, who also appeared in the film on "Eastbound 12" as the Engineer.
