The Alaska Railroad extends over 500 miles from Seward to Fairbanks with branch lines to other areas along the way and carries both freight and passengers. The trains are a fixture in the greater Fairbanks area.
When we first moved up and lived in Birchwood housing area which used to be on Fort Wainwright, the tracks were just across the street from our backyard. The first time I felt an earthquake (which are also common here) I simply thought it was a train going by.
