2021 WIlderness Express Schedule
Below is the current Wilderness Express train schedule. The Wilderness Express runs between Anchorage, Talkeetna, Denali Park, and Fairbanks. These privately-operated dome railcars generally make up the last two cars on the Alaska Railroad's Denali Star train. Please note, because the Denali Star train is operating on a limited schedule for the summer of 2021, the Wilderness Express is running:
- Northbound Service | Anchorage to Fairbanks: Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday
- Southbound Service | Fairbanks to Anchorage: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
