Trains

[Ladyaruba]

Taking a train from Denali to Anchorage and then to Seward to meet our ship.

What side of the train would give us the best views for each?

 

 

Looking forward, left or right?

The train from Denali to Anchorage is a HAL Train and all seats face forward with the open glass top. From Anchorage to Seward it is Alaskan RR. The seats face forward and aft but in both cases it really doesn’t matter as you can get up and move around in both trains. The views are better from Anchorage to Seward since you go thru the Glaciers and pass Tracey Arm on the Starboard side but as mentioned you can move around and the train moves slowly plus the Conductor slows for great views.

I don't think that came out right. :D

 

Anyway, the engineer drives and slows the train. The Conductor collects tickets and such.

We sat on the left facing forward and I think we saw a lot more in my opinion.
