Help with train from Anchorage to Seward

[alaskawdw12]

As of this year the Goldstar service to and from Seward includes a meal, soft drinks and two alcoholic drinks.

I’m down the Seward Highway along Turnagain Arm most weekends during the summer and if I’m early enough, the train usually passes by about 7:30am. They slow to a crawl when there are Dall sheep on the cliffs. I took these last July within minutes of each other from the same spot. The passengers got some good ones too since they were out on the platform. There were many sheep that day.

 

Regardless of where you end up sitting, be prepared to go out on the platform between Beluga Point and Windy Point which is where the sheep seem to hang out most of the time. Not always out but I usually see them about 50% of the time.
