  • An amazing 12 hours journey to the Interior Alaska by train compressed into 25 minutes.
    This time we are trying something different, after a couple of years enjoying Hawaii, we have decided we need to experience some cold again. And what's the better place to do that but Alaska.

    A job on the train as a cook brought me to Alaska in 1993 and I am still here.
    I worked two summers Anchorage to Fairbanks as a cook on the train.

Joined after retiring from my old career in 2012 top job, loved it, few jerks enroute which is not unusal the world over. but ..

    Kudos to the filmmaker.
    for me as a Chef it would have been nice to see pictures of ALL menu items. but suppose with prices like that, one can be happy to afford ONE Penne.

      @@igorealism thank you.and your reply is appreciated. Especially because on OUR long distance trains the system works completely different. ( I live in Moscow, the one in Russia.Not the one in Ohio..Most of our long distance trains leave in the evening, so one can sleep. saves one night of hotel costs. and what is much to see driving hours and hours to the Tundra and Taiga. Than of course one has different - Excursion trains - . And there is lots to see.
      There are also trains that go from Moscow to Vienna.Or Berlin. Or Warsaw. One meets the most interesting people on trains. language was never a problem. And since i use English, German or Russian, a conversation always is possible.

      Если честно, мне еда в первом классе Сапсана больше понравилась, хоть там и было все явно приготовлено заранее и просто разогрето. В Aurora Winter Train, cудя по блюдам и времени ожидания, готовили все в вагон-ресторане. И хотя было вкусно и сытно, все было как-то очень простенько - макароны, колбаса разогретая в соусе из банки, и все это засыпано сыром. Короче, блюдо это напомнило мне мои студенческие годы 😀

      I wouldn't say it was very noisy, but since most of the passengers were traveling with friends and families you could hear somebody talking pretty much all the time.

    Just don't be a tourist, it's a 12 hour cold ride. Good thing , I had 2, 5ths. Cold burgers. This is at January. Stay home.

    • @igorealism
      @igorealism  Рік тому

      Don't be a tourist is probably a good advice regardless when and where you travel 🙂 Saying this, at the end of October food was warm and the train was toasty... at least for the first 11 hours. For the last hour closer to Fairbanks, I really wished I had my warm winter boots on my feet instead of my luggage.

      We saw a moose a couple of times, but they were too far to see them on the GoPro footage. Indeed, Irish immigrants made huge contributions to building America including Alaska.
