Anchorage Rail Yard - Alaska, USA

Camera byVirtual Railfan↗

On the edge of downtown Anchorage, this camera looks over the main yard of the Alaska Railroad, with switching crews, locomotives and passenger cars at work and the Chugach Mountains rising behind.


The railroad's main line runs more than 470 miles (760 km) from Seward on the coast to Fairbanks in the interior, passing through Denali National Park on the way. The US government bought the line in 1914, and the State of Alaska has owned it since 1985.


Anchorage itself grew up around the railroad's base at Ship Creek, and now and then military trains pass through on their way to and from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, just north of the city.


Did You Know? The railroad's Hurricane Turn is one of the last flag-stop trains in the US. People living off the grid between Talkeetna and Hurricane can wave it down from beside the tracks.
