What train route would advise you to pack a large white cloth, 24 hours worth of food, and to be familiar with how to behave in bear country? Alaska Railroad’s Hurricane Turn train is a flag stop train, designed to serve folks living or venturing out in the wilderness. Traveling 55 miles north from Talkeetna, in the shadow of Mount McKinley, to Hurricane Gulch, the two-car diesel train operates from from mid-May to mid-September. Flag the train down with your white cloth (or a t-shirt or your arms) and enjoy the scenery. There’s no food or beverage service, but you can bring your own. The conductor carries handcuffs in case anyone gets too rowdy.
