Coastal Classic & Glacier Discovery Routes (South of Anchorage)

Both the Coastal Classic and Glacier Discovery routes follow the tracks south of Anchorage towards Seward. The difference is that the Coastal Classic goes all the way to Seward while the Glacier Discovery day train turns around halfway at a railroad station high in the mountain called Grandview. The Alaska Railroad is the only company with cars on this route. Choose from their standard service or their new Goldstar dome car service.
