Alaska - Alaska Railroad

Welcome to the Alaska Railroad, the last full-service railroad in the United States.

From the tidewater at Whittier and the Seward to the heart of the Interior Alaska , our route covers more than 500 miles. Our summer services offers three daily routes. The Denali Star departs daily from Anchorage and Fairbanks with stops at Talkeetna and Denali. The Coastal Classic serves Anchorage and Seward, with magnificent walls of ice, jagged peaks and gorges along this route. The Glacier Discovery connects Anchorage and Whittier, winding along the scenic Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet. In addition to our daily service routes, The Hurricane Turn offers a unique "flag" service between Talkeetna and Hurricane Gulch, providing a vital transportation link for rural Alaskans. In 2000, the Railroad added 16 state-of-the-art locomotives, nine custom-built passenger coaches and three vista dome-style coaches to our fleet.
