Interesting old depot with a nice gift shop and many memorabilia/ souvenirs of the Alaska RR - a vital part of Alaska's history and development as well as life today.

The Alaska Railroad south to Seward offered some of the most spectacular views I could imagine. There was still several feet of snow on the ground in the mountains which made for a more picturesque view. This is a trip I would take over and over again.
Seating is scarce, considering that hundreds of people board the train here, some as part of a cruise line itinerary. The depot is clean, and the staff is friendly.
Was in the Dome car great views a lot to see they are clean and the personal take care of you needs, great food and service
They were friendly - the staff on the Glacier Discovery Train ride was fantastic and helpful. The views were pretty. For "active" people, the ride alone could be slow moving.
We took train from Seward to Anchorage via Gold Star. Ate dinner on train, had drinks, and just watched the beauty--snow, waterfalls, etc. We did not see wildlife. Great trip. They also stored our luggage and got it to Anchorage while we went on tour.
Starting with the Alaska Railroad Depot in Anchorage, my recent trip by the Alaska Railroad to Denali and back made for an incredible trip. I picked the GoldStar service from Anchorage to Denali, and enjoyed First Class service, plus had the advantage of senic views all the way in the glass covered cars. The onboard restaurant served excellent food!

I took my second trip on this Flag Stop Train out of Talkeetna. It was great. The conductor was great and spent time with the children on board. He even shared some of his beautiful train scenery with us. We highly recommend the trip.
There is not a great deal to see at the depot but if you like trains well worth a visit, especially when a train is in the station. A small gift shop and ticket offic with very helpful staff.
The depot operated properly. Boarding pass iissuance and luggage delivery were non-events. The employees were friendly. The depot is basic, but functional.
