Enjoy spectacular scenery on board a comfortable rail car.  The Coastal Classic Train connects Anchorage and Seward, a 114 mile journey through mountains, valleys, tunnels and gorges.  Majestic glaciers come into view as you wind through some of Alaska’s wilderness areas. The Spencer Glacier’s massive ice field appears less than one mile from the tracks. Bartlett Glacier is visible just 800 feet from the tracks and Deadman Glacier rises above. The scenery along this route is rated by many as the best in the state of Alaska.  Most Seward hotels provide shuttle service to and from the Alaska Railroad Depot.  Reference code # 37 for $15.00 off per person on the adult round trip fare.  Call (800) 544-0552 or (907) 265-2494 for reservations and information.
