Alaska Railroad

Since 1923, the Alaska Railroad has connected many of Alaska’s most popular destinations: Anchorage, Seward, Talkeetna, Fairbanks, and of course Denali National Park – home to Denali, the tallest peak in North America. Our tracks span 500 miles/800 kilometers across this great land, traveling along dramatic coastlines, pristine river valleys, expansive alpine forests, and traversing the Chugach mountains and Alaska Range. The Alaska Railroad offers year-round passenger rail transportation with Adventure Class and premium GoldStar service. More than a half million passengers ride Alaska Railroad trains each year. The summer season is mid-May to mid-September and includes daily service on most routes. The winter season is mid-September to mid-May, and includes weekend and some midweek service. The Alaska Railroad offers rail transportation and rail travel packages, with the option to create a personalized rail excursion, complete with lodging, tours, and activities. The Alaska Railroad also offers a flagstop service, the last of its kind in the United States.
