Alaska is a state located in the northwestern part of the North American continent, and is an isolated state that does not border any other state in the United States. This land was once a colony of Russia, and is in this state because the United States purchased it from the Russian Empire, which was at odds with Great Britain.
Similar to the mainland, Alaska has a 1,435mm gauge Alaska Railroad, which is operated by the state of Alaska. This page introduces the section of the Alaska Railroad from the inland city of Fairbanks to Alaska's largest city, Anchorage.
Fairbanks is the central city in the interior of Alaska, with a population of approximately 30,000. The Alaska Railroad operates both freight and passenger trains, with passenger trains "Denali Star" and "Aurora" departing from Fairbanks Station. The "Aurora'' runs only on weekends during the winter.
The train travels along the Healy River, part of the Nenana River system, to Healy Station. After passing Healy Station, the train enters the watershed Denali Pass. Denali Park Station is only open during the summer and serves as the gateway to Mount Denali (Mount McKinley).
After crossing the pass, the train enters the Susitna River system, which flows to the southwest. Some loops in this region are named after places in other U.S. states, such as Colorado, Denver, Honolulu, Montana, and Houston. Hurricane is the terminus of the flag-stop train "Hurricane Turn'' from Anchorage, and passengers can board the train from any location between Hurricane and Talkeetna by showing a white cloth toward the train.
Currie Station is currently a station for skiers in the area where the "Aurora'' train stops. Curry was once a resort area with a hotel, but it lost out to the Denali hotel and is now a ghost town.
When the Susitna River splits to the right, the train enters an area near Anchorage.

After passing the approximately 10km double-track section from CP1213 to CP1154, the train will arrive at its final stop, Anchorage Station. The "Denali Star" train will travel approximately 356 miles (approximately 570 km) from Fairbanks to Anchorage, at a maximum speed of 59 mph (96 km) and in about 12 hours.
Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, with an urban population of approximately 300,000 and a metropolitan area population of approximately 400,000. The main industry is oil and natural gas related industries, and it is also an international trade port and a transportation hub. Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport was once a hub for long-distance passenger flights, but as aircraft performance has improved, passenger flights have become less frequent, and it is now a hub airport for cargo flights.
Additionally, the Alaska Railroad continues from Anchorage to Seward, a town on the Pacific coast.
