The Alaska Railroad stretches 470 miles from Seward in the south to Fairbanks in the north. The train operates two main daily routes in the summer: a southern route between Seward and Anchorage and a northern route between Anchorage, Talkeetna, Denali, and Fairbanks. On many trains, you have a choice of two classes: the railroad's basic Adventure class, and the more upscale GoldStar Class, which offers full-service dining and intricate décor.
