@oshanada Shan, the coastal has to leave so early because of the other passenger trains needing to use the depot. Also they have to meet the cruise train (Holland Americas Train out of Seward) somewhere where they can pass each other.
@sdrailfanner It’s a spectacular trip, this is from last night, the Coastal Classic’s first run of the season. Are you riding Adventure Class or Goldstar?
@AmandakMoser I’d be interested to hear what you have in mind.
It would seem like working with Alaska Airlines would be a good start.
The “big tourist companies” bring a HUGE amount of tourists to Alaska. But your right once they get them here they want to keep tourists in network.
