Just thought i'd let others know, Tomorrow Thurs 7th Alaska Railroad is running a special from Anchorage or Wasilla to Hurricane Turn for $39 per person. Since it started snowing here today not sure if i should just go ahead and book it for Ed and myself, will talk to him at work and see.
Theres no buffet car so a picnic is a must but it sounds great !

Jan

OK just booked it, talked to Ed on the phone and he said go for it !! have to book by 5pm because the conductor on the train may not know its a special although Megan at the booking office said she would try and make sure he knows !!
Woooooo i love the trains !!

You can count on that Blue.
Looks like it's turning out to be a great clear day, not a cloud in the sky.
Catching the train at about 9:45

What a great ride the Hurricane Train is/was. I have loads of photos to sort through. The train stops on the bridge over Hurricane Gulch for about an hour, just so you can sit and enjoy the view of Denali.

Traveling is awesome! The vistas, the smell of air.

I know I'm obsessed ..... but I just love the AKRR !!!

This months specials for AK residents are on the Aurora Train and once again the Hurricane Turn Whistlestop train.
If you missed the Hurricane Turn last month, there's another hot deal for the Feb. 4th train - 2 can ride for the price of 1, so two Alaskans can ride for under a hundred bucks. Ask for the day off now, and don't forget your lunch. Call 907-265-2494 for more info.


When Ed and I did the trip last month it was a great day, great weather and sooo relaxing. On Facebook they've even been posting to comment on the Fata Morganna over Denali !
