"The Alaska Railroad is the best way to see Alaska.  I'm not just saying that because I happen to work here. As a frequent passenger, I've had the pleasure of enjoying the Alaska Railroad from the perspective of a tourist -- the first-rate services, comfort, scenery. With over 500 miles of track, the Alaska Railroad rolls across, up, over, and though some of Alaska's most pristine wilderness. And it's an experience you never get tired of. Recently, the Alaska Railroad was named 'Best of the Best' by the international travel magazine that recognizes excellence in airline, cruise line, and rail and terminal services. It really is North America's most inspiring rail journey. One trip with us and you'll instantly know why." Patrick K. Gamble, President and CEO, Alaska Railroad Corporation.
