The Hurricane Flagstop service previously scheduled for June 4 will continue as planned. In April, the Alaska Railroad announced that regularly scheduled summer trains the Denali Star with service between Anchorage and Fairbanks, and the Coastal Classic with service between Anchorage and Seward would be delayed until July 1. Scheduled times for the Hurricane Flagstop will change to accommodate the Denali Star schedule between Anchorage and Fairbanks. Additionally, due to schedule changes, the Hurricane Turn’s Thursday-Monday roundtrip between Talkeetna and Hurricane will not be offered at this time. Please check online at www.alaskarailroad.com/ride-a-train/schedules for all changes and schedule details. “This consolidation represents our ongoing evaluation of passenger needs and finding the most efficient and safest ways to meet them,” said ARRC President and CEO Bill O’Leary.

  • News Release
    News Release DATE: July 23, 2020 CONTACT: Tim Sullivan, 907-265-2357; cell 223-7372 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Alaska Railroad revises summer train service Reduced ridership dictates shorter season and fewer trains Anchorage, ALASKA Reduced ridership aboard Alaska Railroad (ARRC) summer trains has led to schedule revisions that will shorten the season for one train and decrease operating days for another. The Coastal Classic, which provides service between Anchorage and Seward, will end daily operations on Sept. 7, one week earlier than originally scheduled. The Denali Star, which provides service between Anchorage, Denali and Fairbanks, will end daily bi-directional service on Aug. 1. From Aug. 2 to Sept. 13, the northbound Denali Star will operate on Saturdays and Mondays, while the southbound Denali Star will operate on Sundays and Tuesdays, with no service Sept. 7-8. The Hurricane Turn flagstop service will continue to operate as a merged service on the Denali Star’s revised schedule. “When the railroad began daily summer service July 1, we knew passenger volumes would be down significantly due to tremendous pandemic impacts,” said Dale Wade, VP Marketing & Customer Service. “We’ve been happy to see stable ridership on the Coastal Classic and the Glacier Discovery trains through early September, but the season has been more challenging for the Denali Star, and we could not continue to sustain daily service for that route.” Even so, ARRC celebrates some safety and service successes, says Wade. Special rail travel discounts and deals on rail-lodging-excursion packages continue to generate economic activity for ARRC and partner Alaskan businesses.
