Running between Anchorage and Fairbanks along the Alaska Railroad route, the Aurora Winter Train provides a vital rail connection between these two major Alaskan cities. Winters this far North can be brutal to say the least, making this train extremely important for passengers and cargo.
The majority of passenger train traffic on the ARR is in the Summer months, mostly between May and September. In the meantime, the Aurora Winter Train is the only passenger train operating on the ARR. We first chased the train North on Saturday, and then chasing the train South on Sunday from Fairbanks to just north of Wasilla. One of the most scenic rail routes I've ever seen, let alone the drive too!
