12The Aurora Winter Train
Explore Alaska comfortably from Anchorage to Fairbanks, Alaska. Take this 358-mile route to see the Northern Lights all the rest of the state’s “greatest hits” in style. You can roam about the cars on this particular Alaska Railroad train.
Your 12-hour trek begins in surprisingly metropolitan Anchorage through what veteran visitors call “vertigo-inducing mountain passes,” across broad bridges, and into the depths of the wilderness. It’s there that you’re likely to see the aurora borealis reflecting off the pure snow and dancing across the night sky. The trip is only available in the winter (September through May).

What is the cost for this trip
Hi!
heck with your friendly neighborhood travel agent. At present, we are not affiliated with any travel agency. Thanks or your support.
I mean a estimate of how much each train ride with be would be nice.woulf love to do this one day!
Hello again!
I’m sorry but I no longer have current information on specific prices. I believe you can find that information elsewhere online though and some even may now be part o package deals.
You forgot El Chepe in Chijuajua Mexico. 1950s train cars and a terrific club car. Does more than 20 switchbacks to get to the bottom of the mountains then back up. Ends in Mazatlan Mexico.
Hi!
I rarely have a say in the final lists. Still, if I am ever instructed to write a sequel I will be sure to suggest that one. Thanks for your input and thanks for reading my stuff!
They changed the schedule so you’ll hit Minneapolis, Spokane, and even Glacier National Park in the dark. And post-Covid, only sleeper customers have access to the dining car and their menu; 80% of the train traveling in coach get snack-bar items for the entire trip.
Hi!
I would not personally doubt that COVID impacted the trains since it impacted everything else. It IS a good idea to get COVID updates, for sure! Thanks for your comment!
Will, I would like to know who I can contact.
Hi!
Do you have a question about the site or the train rides? We should have a “Contact Us” link somewhere on the website. They just worked on it and changed a couple of things.
As to the trains, I would simply suggest searching for their individual websites on your favorite search engine.
Thus far, this website does not serve as a travel agent. Someday? Maybe. Honestly, I am just the writer and a co-editor.
Thanks for your support!
