Company Description

The company's rail network spans some 465 miles of main line track, 80 miles of branch line, and 110 miles of rail siding (auxiliary track used to store cars waiting to load or unload). The Alaska Railroad Corporation also owns more than 35,000 acres of land, about half of which is leased.
