through, floods from the Mata- nuska River washed 1t out.
 Main line of the Alaska Rall- road was first to Chickaloon, which means bad wind" - the opposite of Chinook, the mild and sunny winds.
 Expansion Needs
 Nelson told of additions built to the first little unit of the Al aska Railroad depot of Palmer.
 Its not big enough yet" he commented. We need more warehouse space, among other things"
 Received this week are new switch ties for the extension of house track. Present siding IS too small and the extension will reach to about the location of the Tost Service Station.
 The main street of Palmer runs parallel to the railroad and most of the main street is railroad right-of-way. So far no ease ments have been granted-and that might be another problem for the new city fathers.
Valley frontiersman., 1951-05-25
Palmer Railroad Depot "Crows U"

The railroad depot was only a Poxcar when the Colonists came to Palmer.
 Palmer was a siding. Trains ran to Fairbanks on Friday and back on Tuesday. There were five or six freight cars on the usual run, and one passenger coach.
 Growth of the Alaska Railroad into the Matanuska Valley was briefed today by C. L. Nelson, first agent in charge at Palmer and still on the job; and second oldest in employe length of time with the Alaska Railroad.
 Nelson, who started "in busi- ness" as a Western Union mes s9nger when he was 13, broke in to railroading when he came to know the telegraph operator in his town and gave him good ser vice. In 1909 he went to work with the Northwestern Railroad. then to the New York Central. He came to Alaska in 1884, for the Alaska Railroad.
 As relief agent at Seward he saw the arrival of the Colonists on the North Star and St. Mihael -"just good, everyday families" he described them. A bit be- Wildered some of them; some highly hopeful.
 Since coming to Palmer as agent in charge, he has seen the rail road staff here grow from a one man job to eight; from two trains weekly, which went to Premier, Eska and Jonesville for coal mine service, to a daily train. From a half dozen cars to half-a-hundred.
 Where we used to ship in one sack of sugar now we get car load" Nelson said. Instead of one sack of fertilizer We now ship in 2,0OO,000 pounds"
 When Nelson first came to Palmer, John Bugge was raising horses on what now is the main street. There was no highway to Anchorage, only the railroad. When the first road was put
