The Alaska Railroad’s flagship Denali Star Train links Anchorage and Fairbanks with
stops in Wasilla, Talkeetna and Denali National Park. The 572-kilometre route features
spectacular scenery including Hurricane Gulch, where you will travel across one of
the world’s largest single-span bridges, Broad Pass. As the tracks traverse the Alaska
Range, on a clear day, you will witness incredible views of Denali, North America’s
tallest peak. Travelling from Anchorage to Denali National Park is the most popular
Alaska Railroad route, and you can choose from two classes of passenger service:
Adventure Class or GoldStar Service. GoldStar Service features bi-level, glass-domed
railcars and includes meals in the full-service dining room. Available from mid-May to
mid-September.

Coastal Classic
Rail Journey
Glacier Discovery
The Coastal Classic Train is a local favourite, providing daily round-trip service between
Anchorage and Seward. A string of massive glaciers, visible only from the train,
enhances the journey as you travel south to Seward on the shores of Resurrection
Bay. This area is the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park where you can enjoy
whale watching, tidewater glacier viewing, or even enjoy a summer dog sled ride. Two
levels of passenger service are available on the Coastal Classic: Adventure Class and
GoldStar Service. GoldStar Service features bi-level railcars with glass-dome ceilings
and an exclusive outdoor viewing platform - an excellent vantage point to see the
most beautiful stretch of the Alaska Railroad - and includes full-service dining with
a view. Depart from either Seward or Anchorage; runs mid-May to mid-September. Departing from Anchorage, the Glacier Discovery Train travels south along the shore
of Turnagain Arm. This area is part of the Chugach National Forest, the second largest
in the United States. After stopping at the resort town of Girdwood, the train leaves
the main track for the journey through a mountain tunnel to the port of Whittier -
the gateway to Prince William Sound - where many passengers board day cruises to
view glaciers and marine wildlife. The train then continues south to the Placer Valley,
an area only accessible by train. Disembark at Spencer Glacier and join a guided
rafting or kayaking trip among the icebergs on Spencer Lake, or a hike with a Forest
Service Ranger. Stay on board the train and enjoy views of the spectacular glaciers in
Grandview. Daily round-trip service from late May to mid-September.
