|  This photo was taken just south of Anchorage yet north of Girdwood, Alaska from the railroad. It does justice to the beauty of the Chugach Range as well as shows the great condition the bike trails are in. It was taken as we were waiting for a Bore Tide to reach that part of the Turnagain Arm. | Alaska Railroad Contributor: AlaskaPhotography.com May 2000 Send this Page to a Friend  Click Here to Send a Postcard The Alaska Railroad is the last full-service railroad in the United States. From the tidewater at Whittier and the Seward to the heart of the Interior Alaska , the Alaska Railroad covers more than 500 miles. Summer services offer 3 daily routes: the Denali Star departs daily from Anchorage and Fairbanks with stops at Talkeetna and Denali; the Coastal Classic serves Anchorage and Seward, with magnificent walls of ice, jagged peaks and gorges along this route; and the Glacier Discovery connects Anchorage and Whittier, winding along the scenic Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet. In addition to daily service routes, The Hurricane Turn offers a unique "flag" service between Talkeetna and Hurricane Gulch, providing a vital transportation link for rural Alaskans.
