The Denali Star is a passenger and semi-luxury train operated by the Alaska Railroad between the cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska.[3] It is a seasonal train, only operating between the months of May and September.[2] The Aurora Winter Train operates along the similar route during the rest of the year at a less frequent weekend schedule.
