About Alaska Railroad

The Alaska Railroad's main line runs more than 470 miles from Seward on the coast to Fairbanks, passing through Anchorage and Denali National Park. From the Anchorage depot you can take the Coastal Classic to Seward, the Glacier Discovery to Whittier or the Denali Star north to Fairbanks. GoldStar Service seats you in a dome car. The Hurricane Turn out of Talkeetna is a flag-stop train, where passengers along the route wave a white cloth to board.
