About our trains
The Glacier Discovery Train travels from Anchorage
south along Turnagain Arm. Passengers can visit
Whittier for glacier cruises or head to Spencer Lake
for canoe tours, rafting, and hiking.
The Coastal Classic Train is a local favorite that
winds through the stretch of wilderness between
Anchorage and Seward. A string of massive glaciers
visible from the track enriches the journey.
The Denali Star Train, the Alaska Railroad’s flagship
train, links Anchorage to Fairbanks with stops in
Wasilla, Talkeetna, and Denali Park. This route is
known for abundant wildlife.
The Aurora Winter Train schedule starts with a run
north from Anchorage to Fairbanks on Saturdays
and returns to Anchorage on Sundays. We also
run a variety of special event trains from September
through May.

Due to the popularity of GoldStar Service on the Denali
Star train, the Alaska Railroad has purchased more
double-deck dome cars. Two more cars are scheduled to
arrive late-summer of 2008. Upon their arrival in Alaska,
one car will be added to the Coastal Classic train and
GoldStar Service will begin on this highly scenic route.
To Whittier $36 $18
