To Alaska by Train--the Greatest Train Ride That Never Was!

In the 35 years that Carl Fowler sold rail travel worldwide he dealt with literally hundreds of calls wanting to "take the train to Alaska". Once there were more lines than today--but there never was one all the way. Join Mr. Fowler to learn the history of the railroads in Alaska, including railroads both surviving and long gone, and why no railway was ever finished all the way from the 'Lowe 48" to Alaska.
