6 days agoThis Nearly 500-mile U.S. Train Trip Visits National Parks, Glaciers, and Northern Lights Hot Spots
If anyone tells you the only efficient, memorable train rides are in Europe, then they've never boarded the Alaska Railroad. With its main line stretching nearly 500 miles from Seward to Fairbanks, this scenic, historic method of transportation is one of the best ways to both get around Alaska and see the beauty of its backcountry; you may even spot a moose or bear along the way.
