  • Alaska Railroad Suspends Aurora Winter Train Through April 30 Safety
    News Release DATE: March 17, 2020 CONTACT: Tim Sullivan, 265-2357, 907-223-7372 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Alaska Railroad Suspends Aurora Winter Train through April 30 Safety of passengers and crew is railroad’s highest priority ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Taking a cue from recent directives from national and international health agencies regarding the COVID-19 virus, the Alaska Railroad (ARRC) is suspending regularly scheduled Aurora Winter Train passenger service between Anchorage and Fairbanks starting March 19 and continuing through April 30. The Alaska Railroad will provide passenger service to the roadless area between Talkeetna and Hurricane via the Hurricane Turn Train on Thursday, April 2. “With recent notifications that groupings of 10 or more people are discouraged to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 we felt it prudent to suspend our Aurora Trains for the next six weeks for the safety of our passengers, crew, and our community,” said ARRC President and CEO Bill O’Leary. “We recognize that this could be a significant inconvenience for many people, particularly those who have no other way to access their homes and properties along the rail belt, so we will still operate a limited service Hurricane Turn Train, as scheduled, for April 2 to make sure they are not stranded.” This suspension will affect nine Aurora Winter Train round-trips. Freight service is not affected. Passenger service personnel are reaching out to notify and refund all passengers and tour operators with bookings on suspended trains. ARRC will regularly evaluate passenger service during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the coming weeks, the ARRC will continue to work closely with the governor’s office and federal agencies in anticipation of the safe resumption of full passenger operations.
