How to get from Anchorage to Seward and Whittier
Как добраться из Анкориджа в Сьюард и Уиттиер
Круизы по Аляске довольно часто начинаются (заканчиваются) в Сьюарде (Seward) или Уиттиере (Whittier). Потому перед пассажирами встает вопрос как добраться из Анкориджа. Трасфер круизной компании не единственный путь. Можно доехать на панорамном поезде.
Alaska Railroad проходит от Сьюарда и Уиттиера в южной части Аляски через Анкоридж до Фэрбанкса в центральной её части. Магистральная протяжённость дороги — 760 км. Строительство дороги начала компания Alaska Central Railroad в 1903 году в Сьюарде.
Аляскинская железная дорога испытывает пик нагрузки летом, во время туристического сезона. Пассажиры перемещаются в вагонах с большими панорамными окнами или даже куполами на крыше с обзором в 360°.
- «Звезда Денали» курсирует с мая по сентябрь от Анкориджа до Фэрбанкса через национальный парк Денали. Проезжает 576 километров за 11 часов и 45 минут. Маршрут «Звезда Денали» признан «лучшим туристическим железнодорожным маршрутом в США» читателями журнала Conde Nast Traveler.
- «Зимняя Аврора» курсирует с сентября по май по аналогичному маршруту с аналогичной скоростью и остановками.
- «Побережный классический» курсирует с мая по сентябрь от Анкориджа до Сьюарда. Проезжает 183 километра за 4 часа и 20 минут.
- «Открывая ледники» курсирует с мая по сентябрь от Анкориджа до Уиттиера. Проезжает 110,6 километра за 2 часа.
- «Ураган» курсирует с мая по сентябрь (с четверга по воскресенье) от Талкитны и с сентября по май (первый четверг каждого месяца) от Анкориджа до Хуррикан-Галч. Проезжает 92,7 километра за 2 часа и 30 минут. Является одним из последних регулярных поездов страны, которые останавливаются «по требованию»: на всём протяжении маршрута человек в любом месте может остановить поезд и сесть на него, если помашет ему белым платком.
