True to the theme “Wild, wild west” of a chartered mystery train event, a drunk passenger got rambunctious and had to be taken off the train by troopers in Talkeetna.
On Saturday, October 10, troopers report that 26- year old Joshua Brandon Brown of Wasilla caused a disturbance on the chartered Alaska Railroad train.
