Description
We traveled the Alaska Railroad during 2016, between anchorage and Seward, then from Denali National Park and Anchorage. This is a bucket list trip that is the best way to see Alaska. If you're like me and are passionate about train travel and landscape photography, you will be hanging out the back on the observation platform, for most of the trip. According to Wikipedia, the Alaska Railroad is a Class II railroad which extends from Seward and Whittier, in the south of the state of Alaska, in the United States, to Fairbanks (passing through Anchorage), and beyond to Eielson Air Force Base and Fort Wainwright in the interior of that state. At one time in its history, it extended to the banks of the Yukon River northeast of Fairbanks. Uniquely (for the US), it carries both freight and passengers throughout its system, including Denali National Park. The railroad has a mainline over 656 miles (1,056 km) long and is well over 500 miles (800 km) including branch lines and siding tracks. It is currently owned by the state of Alaska.
