ARRC provides year-round rail transportation services throughout Southcentral and Interior Alaska. Routes traverse miles of remote and wild landscapes, safely bringing millions of tons of cargo and nearly a half-million passengers to railbelt destinations each year. The Alaska Railroad operates a regularly-scheduled public transportation service connecting Alaskans and visitors to communities from Seward to Fairbanks. Passengers gain access to remote regions and areas off the road system, and to public land treasures including the Chugach National Forest and Denali National Park, which are visited by hundreds of thousands of people annually.
