Alaska Railroad Corp. (ARRC) will shorten the travel season for one train and decrease operating days for another due to reduced ridership caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

ARRC’s Coastal Classic, which provides passenger-rail service between Anchorage and Seward, will end daily operations on Sept. 7, one week earlier than originally scheduled, ARRC officials said in a press release.

On Aug. 1, the Denali Star will end daily bi-directional service between Anchorage, Denali and Fairbanks. 

From Aug. 2 to Sept. 13, Denali Star’s northbound service will operate on Saturdays and Mondays, and the southbound service will operate on Sundays and Tuesdays.
