The Purchase Centennial year was celebrated throughout the state. Anchorage and Fairbanks greeted two new railroads. Granted, these were not the freight bearing type of railroad, but railroads set up for entertainment during the celebration.

Officially the "Kiwanis-New York Life Centennial Steam Railroad," but known as the Moose Gooser, this train ran from the Alaska Rail Road depot to the International Airport. From the advertising brochure, we learn:

The Moose Gooser was honored with four medals: cupro-nickel and brass, with the train moving to the right, and a cupro-nickel with the train moving to the left. Kurtis Hawk reports that there were also 20 minted in sterling silver. Is the train moving left or right?
