Experience the REAL Alaska Railroad Flag Stop Life!

[@CBe-ot8vu]

19$ a person. Government pays the other $15,000k to run the train. These people say there living off the land but reality is they live off welfare and government subsidiaries

[@curmudgeinnak]

The train is set up for tourist and they make plenty of money off that. NO ONE at our location is taking money from welfare or Gov subsidiaries. The Alaskan Railroad shuttles almost half a million people on the rails each year and over 5 million tons of freight. When the feds sold the state the train service it was in the contract they had to service people that lived out here in the bush. If you have a issue with that take it up with the feds. You should know your facts before making bold statements like that. Have a good day.

[@iiikolby56]

ok retard

[@jacobwright9557]

I'm not usually one to respond to ubsurd comments like yours, but your statment is simply untrue. The Alaska Railroad made 264.4 million in revenue for the 2023 fiscal year (the most recently avalible financial statment), and from that had a net income of 44.3 million dollars. They have been posting profitable income (which directly goes to lower your state taxes and funding your schools) for decades, with one exception; in 2020 they lost 8 million. Their freight traffic didn't decline dramtically, oil and coal can't catch covid. It was a drop in ridership of their passenger trains which caused this drop. These passenger trains make money for your state, and even when they don't, it isn't cost you a dime because the freight pays the rest anyways. This isn't even mentoining the millions of dollars that tourists who come to ride these trains bring into the state of Alaska ever single year. Be bitter. be angry, but those are the facts, and you could easily have found if you put in even a little effort. And please, do not attack this man and the way he chose to live his life simply because he uses a service provided for him by the state at no cost to you or anyone else. I admire this man for what he's doing, and the life he is trying to create for himself. He certainly doesn't need people like you trying to tell him that he can't. Keep on making these great videos!

Thanx for the video. The ARR is what railroading used to be like back until the 1970s when the bean counters took over.

[@curmudgeinnak]

Agreed. We have talked to so many old timers about how the rails use to be all over the nation and it seems the ARR is still the best.

[@mleonee]

Blame the car companies

[@nicoracien1924]

My cabin in Northern Quebec has a Flag stop in front of it. Nice to see that it still exist at a couple places

[@AlaskaBrandy]

That is how the train runs and works! ARR has some of the best crew ever! I am lucky enough to call other conductors and engineers my friends. The historical importance of the train can't be denied. But it is still vital to Alaska and it allows people like yourselves to live a unique lifestyle! And I hope it never stops.

[@curmudgeinnak]

Hello and welcome. :-). From my understanding the contract with the fed gov when the state purchased it they had to always pick folks like us up. If they decided they did not want to anymore they would have to put in a road system. We both know that will not happen due to cost. I would much rather have the train than a road. :-)

[@kimfrommn7162]

Interesting!!!!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻‍♀️

[@benjamincresswell3713]

Yes, completely understandable. I remember when the road to Tanana came through everyone was so disappointed. It destroyed their privacy. Pay Moore got the dubious honors of overseeing the road project and the town hated him I always dream about Alaska. Back in my youth I was offered a job on the pipeline and almost went. They guy I was going to be with went into carpentry apprenticeship so I stayed home. But to this day there is part of me that feels like I missed out on a life. I'm voting for Trump so maybe they'll drill and you'll get another subsity. ( no offense if you're not into it) Good video.. tnx ben/ michigan

[@trob0914]

Amazing how this used to be the norm in frontier times in the main land US and possibly even Canada, let’s hope this humble tradition never fades, truly jealous of the lives you love take care!

[@curmudgeinnak]

It would take a lot for this system to fade out. We would all have to leave the area. When the fed gov sold the train to the state it was written into the contract that they had to ALWAYS service the flag stop folks or build a road the entire length of this stretch. It would cost them wayyy to much to build that road. The grumble about us and each year the price goes up but they still work with us.

[@trutsieo5430]

You have a great voice for narrating. Sara had a beautiful smile while watching the fur babies welcome you back home. Alone & Cut the cord recommended your channel. I am enjoying watching your videos. Thanks.

This is the third time I'm watching all of your train flag stop videos. I find it so interesting! Just a tip for flagging the train down when its dark or murky. I drove a school bus for 40 years in rural NJ and it was dark out in the mornings through winter. I taught ALL MY STUDENTS on the first day, to use the flashlight setting on their cell phone, to wave me down if they were late, running from the house down long driveways. It's a pure white light that can be seen from long distances. It was funny to watch the white light hop down the landscape too.

[@curmudgeinnak]

In the darker months I always carry my flashlight just for that reason. the crews are happy about that too. :-). Glad you found us and that you are enjoying the videos.

[@Glitchesftw]

Glad to see the railroad is continuing this service. My brother lived off the grid outside of Fairbanks in the late 60’s and early 70’s and used it back then. Nice job explaining how it works.

So now we enjoy watching people living life that they enjoy in places off the grid.

[@buffycat4641]

I've been in that part of Alaska as a tourist and also admire the Alaskan Railroad and the crucial services it provides to the folks of Alaska. I could never live off the grid as you folks do, it takes a lot of stamina and strength and at my age, I just don't have it anymore. Plus, as a vegetarian I would probably starve to death. There used to be an interesting show on TV about the Alaskan Railroad and the folks living off the grid. I would still be watching it today, but for some reason they stopped making it. Hope you have a safe winter.

[@curmudgeinnak]

Our property was on the show Railroad Alaska with the orig owners Jim and Nancy James. A number of the folks that were on the show are still in the area. It is a hard life at times but very rewarding.

Yay! More train 🤩🤩 Edit: Can we get an unedited video of the whole train ride with some serene music? I’ve never been on a real train before 😢

[@curmudgeinnak]

I can try that sometime in the spring. :-)

We have been dropping our videos on the same day for two years now. it finally took notice of us a few weeks ago. we have been tickled about the response to our videos.

Thanks for the video. My stop was at 238.4 from Talkeetna and then about 2 miles in.

[@curmudgeinnak]

That is cool to know and to meet someone else that had a place out this way. We have chatted with a couple that have a place in that area. Great people. Do you not own anymore?

Do you notify them that you’re needing them to stop on a certain day?

[@curmudgeinnak]

We do but we do not need to.
