Is it realistic to walk from the train station to the port in Whittier if you're old?

We're taking the Glacier Discovery Train from Anchorage to Whittier.   I keep reading that the train depot is "right across the street" from the cruise port.  However, I am thinking of my body and all that luggage.

 

Is it realistic to walk from the train station to the port in Whittier?  How did you do it, and what was the experience like?

 

TIA

I haven't been yet, so I can't say for sure how far it is. But--you should be able to check your luggage through to the ship when you board the train, so that should help.

It’s literally across a parking lot.  Like walking from where you park at Walmart when it’s super busy to the store.  You should have checked your luggage and they handle it except for your hand baggage. If you’re too decrepit, a porter will bring a wheelchair from the terminal for you.
