This year marks the 100-year anniversary of the Alaska Railroad, but the modern amenities and beautiful views from the train make it a timeless experience.
Thirty-six years before Alaska was even a state, its transportation foundation was already being laid.
In May 1984, The Alaska Legislature authorizes Governor Bill Sheffield to negotiate with the federal govern- ment to transfer Alaska Railroad ownership to the state. With more than 650 miles of track, the Alaska Railroad transports both freight and passengers year-round. It’s also the last full-service railroad and the last flag stop operation in the United States.
