Midnight Sun Express from Denali to Talkeenta, Alaska
Posted by Dave on Thu May 24 22:48:05 2012 edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d Took the Alaska RR from Denali to Talkeenta, a the base of Mt. McKinley. The cruise lines have special cars for their customers on tours. We're on Princess. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll be able to post videos. Station in Denali: A moose ambled by to wish us godspeed. Bet you never saw this waiting for a LIRR, MN, or NJT train! Dining section of car Scenery along the route: Train on a curve: Passing the northbound Midnight Sun Express:

The later Ultra Domes (end doors) were built by CRC between '92 and '99.

Travel by rail is still the best way to go, I don't care how much slower it is than flying.
