From the tidewaters at Whittier and Seward to the heart of the Interior Alaska, the Alaska Railroad covers more than 500 miles. Summer services offer 3 daily routes: the Denali Star departs daily from Anchorage and Fairbanks with stops at Talkeetna and Denali; the Coastal Classic serves Anchorage and Seward, with magnificent walls of ice, jagged peaks and gorges along this route; and the Glacier Discovery connects Anchorage and Whittier, winding along the scenic Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet. In addition to daily service routes, The Hurricane Turn offers a unique "flag" service between Talkeetna and Hurricane Gulch, providing a vital transportation link for rural Alaskans.
