Alaska by Rail 2025
Special Interest Tours - Trains Magazine

September 2025



Come along on the "trip of a lifetime", as Baolu and I visit The Last Frontier.  The Alaska Railroad links the interior of the State from Fairbanks to Anchorage with separate lines to Whittier and Seward.  We rode them all.

This was the first time we had taken an all-inclusive tour (IOW, not planned by Lindsay).  All we had to do was get plane tickets going/coming and Special Interest Tours would do the rest.  There were pluses and minuses to this approach, but for the most part, it was money well spent.

For the first time, I could sit back and let someone else tow ME around.
