The Denali Star crosses through open range as it nears Fairbanks, Alaska. The last full-service railway in the United States — it hauls both passengers and freight, though not in tandem — the Alaska Railroad is more than mere transportation. It’s a rolling travelogue that allows passengers to disembark and explore at their own pace. Photos by Jayne Clark / USA TODAY / JAYNE E. CLARK/GANNETT

This topic is not Amtrak, so I'm moving it Western Railfan since it is related to Alaska and that is the last frontier of the west.
