Boarding the bus at the Captain Cook hotel in the early morning, was refreshing in the cool morning air. After a short wait it was all aboard’and a short drive to the Alaska Railway Station. Alaska is the only state to own it’s own railroad. Aboard the coach we sat in the viewing car with glass all around for a terrific view. Our tour guide was taking his last ride as a guide with Princess Cruise Line. He on to a new job in Seattle after spending 16 years as a guide.
