@MsPianoPerformer I am a (mandated) C0vid vacc1ne injured nurse, almost 35 years of nursing, still working part time for now, but filed for retirement last month. It wasn't enough I put my life on the line for DECADES from driving in snowstorms --2 last week alone here in Connecticut - we nurses don't get "snow days- and hurricanes (in North Carolina) I also worked the frontline during C0vid with up to 32 C0vid positive patients at a time) Then they mandated these experimental jabs and was on FMLA twice from my jab injuries, I am now forced to retire. Watching these seem as far as I will ever get to a train vacay like this. Husband and I used to love short train trips. He died a few months before C0vid. I am so happy I found this channel!

I lived in Anchorage Alaska for many years for 15 years n every years 2 trips to Kawai., Hawaii. I only got to 60 locations in Alaska as this state is VE4Y LARGE. I couldn't watch this whole video because it makes me sad as I miss the land. Back in the 80's we only had 1 small movie theater , now I hear they have several. I was young n loved all the outdoor activities especially in winter. Once the temp got down to -40 but it is a dry cold( frostbite is easy to get) I got some on my toes but didn't loose any. I worked in the hospital in Thermal Unit n loved to care for many climbers of mountain McKinley ( now back to Mt Denali) Saw many animals while cross country skiing. ( up close) Going by. Train is the best. I flew around in our private plane alot.. I love your video.

Found this video while looking for woodworking videos, go figure. The video brings back memories of my childhood in Alaska. My family (Mom, Dad, two of three brothers and me) lived at mile marker “206-3/4” in our family log homestead in the mid-60s until 1969. I remember Goose Creek, the Susitna River, Willow, and riding a school bus forever to and from a one room school (K-4) at Talkeetna. We could see Mt. McKinley in the distance from the cabin. I used to watch the train go by the homestead, and we always had moose around the house. Never did see a bear, but they were around. No indoor plumbing or electricity in the cabin either. Also I remember riding the train to and from the homestead. Back then you just flagged the train down if you wanted to board along the route. I think in the Anchorage station there was a model train, you could push a big red button and the train would run on a simple circle track for a minute or so. I also remember the Alaska Marine Highway, and riding on the Wickersham, Matanuska, Tustumena and the Malaspina on several trips to Seattle and back in that era. Also remember the all-gravel Alcan Highway. Great video, thank you for posting it!

Was working in Anchorage area, 2010 and 2011. On my summer break, flew my wife from Tulsa to Anchorage. Spent a day in Anchorage, then took Gold Star service from Anchorage to Seward, spent a couple nights there, then Gold Star service back to Anchorage, spent the night there. The following morning took Gold Star Service to Denali, spent a couple of days there exploring the park, then Gold Stat service back to Anchorage, a couple of nights there, then back Tulsa via Delta. We were lucky and had great views of Denali going up, and the few days in the Park. On the way back, it was obscured on the way back. Folks, this is a fabulous trip to make, impeccable service on the train! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see pristine Alaska wilderness!!

In 1990 for my 27th birthday, my mother and I flew into Anchorage and then jumped on board the train that runs from Anchorage through Denali up to Fairbanks. What was unique of the train at the end of the Alaska Railroad section was two cars for Princess. The dining car sections were on the bottom level the top was the assigned open plexiglass covered roof with minimal visual obstructions. Comfortable seats great food in the dining section and spectacular views. We jumped off the train at Denali and stayed at the lodge in the park and went to the dinner theater to see "Alaskan cabin night" Nearly 32 years ago and he's memories are so vivid to me when I think back

Former Alaskan tour consultant here. I would like to say that the Alaska railroad has two very different experiences. The route between Anchorage and Fairbanks is a lot of wilderness, canyons, and mountainous regions, due to traveling through the end of the Rocky Mountains. The Southern route has a lot of glaciers, and lakes and rivers that come from glaciers. And at the end of the route going south, you can take a tour out of Seward into Resurrection Bay and see humpbacks, orcas, otters, puffins, sea lions, and all sorts of other wildlife.

I took my parents on this train the last week of May 1992. We flew into Fairbanks & stayed 3 days. As you probably know, Fairbanks weather can be iffy in May but each day was sunny & mid-70s temperature. We took the train straight through to Anchorage. Back then, Alaska Railroad was coach seating (no Gold Star Service) & during the summer season, both Princess Cruise Lines & Gray Line Tours each had 2 cars on the end of the train for high end service. I got our tickets through Princess Cruise & that's where we spent our time. Excellent service. Domed car seating until it was time to go downstairs for our included fine dining meals. We had a tour guide giving us info the entire time. Our train was about an hour or so late (no one cared) & the crew ran out of time and we stopped in Wasilla to wait for a new crew to take us the rest of short way into Anchorage. They knew it was going to happen; so they had a fresh crew on the way. We only waited about 20 minutes. This was a trip we enjoyed a lot.

We lived in Fairbanks for many years and took the train to Denali a few times. The Alaska Rail was better than the Princess car we took once. Reindeer sausage is delicious!

When I took the Alaska Railroad my train was 3 hours late due to avalanches!
