Hurricane Turn Train

The Hurricane Turn is one of America’s last flag-stop trains, a unique experience where passengers can board the train at any point along its route simply by flagging it down — no station required. This Alaska Railroad service travels between Talkeetna and Hurricane, traversing remote backcountry accessible only by rail or floatplane. The journey winds through the Susitna River valley, offering spectacular views of the Alaska Range, pristine rivers, and untouched wilderness. Beloved by hikers, hunters, fishermen, and adventurers, the Hurricane Turn operates as a true wilderness lifeline, delivering passengers to remote cabins and trailheads that have no road access.
