caption_attribution_description: View of the second floor dome of the Alaska Railroad GoldStar Dome Service, shortly after departing from Anchorage on our way to Fairbanks on August 1st, 2014. This special carriage is a great way to see Denali Park as the train slowly makes its way through the Alaskan wilderness, you can even go outside on an open platform to take photos in the open. The train ride from Anchorage to Fairbanks took 12 hours, the entire day, but was rich with amazing scenery of wildlife, glacial rivers, mountains and valleys.
