Anchorage, Alaska – Alaska Railroad Yard (Fixed North)

Virtual Railfan's LIVE train cameras in Anchorage, Alaska, USA, hosted by Central Environmental Inc. at/near 229 E. Whitney Road, overlook Anchorage Yard on the Alaska Railroad. View switching crews, intermodal staging, passenger coach storage, the diesel locomotive shop, and occasional military trains to/from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. Anchorage is the headquarters of the state-owned Alaska Railroad, where ~60% of revenue comes from freight and the rest from passenger/excursion services. This yard supports the historic line from Seward to Fairbanks, passing through Denali National Park.

This fixed north-facing camera captures the heart of Alaska's only railroad, showing freight operations, container handling, and locomotive movements in a snow-covered yard. Watch switching crews at work, intermodal trains being staged, and the full breadth of Alaska Railroad's freight and passenger operations. The Alaska Railroad is unique—completely isolated from the North American rail network—making it a distinctive railfan destination. Special thanks to our host, Ship Creek Industrial Complex.
