Alaska Railroad's Gold Star to Anchorage: what a ride!

Here she is, the Alaska Railroad train. The only train going from Seward to Fairbanks and back. It is the same train you see on Discovery's "Railroad Alaska" :)

We booked Gold Star seats, which comes with glas rooftops and a full suite dining area underneath us


Lessie and Keith are ready for the ride!




The train slowed down a little so we could see the glacier. Check out this short video.






Notice the glacier in the back....
Here you can see a short video I made from this glacier. The train would slow down so we could really observe it well. 




On one of these grassy fields, we saw a baby black bear running! So beautiful!




Arriving in Anchorage, Alaska

Notice the glacier in the back (right)
Here is a video of the huge curve this train took. If it were a full circle, the Alaska Railroad would be kissing its own ass! :)

This was our wagon


Here we are!!
