- Watch this video to see what it's like to travel on the Alaska Railroad's iconic "Coastal Classic" route from Anchorage to Seward.
We were SHOCKED by the nonstop, jaw-dropping, unforgettable scenery practically from moment one of this Alaska train journey. It may only be four hours long, but this Alaska Railroad trip has as much scenery as a three day train trip in the Lower 48!
In this video, you'll go on an Alaska Train Ride and see wildlife, landscapes, and rail action that only exist in the "Final Frontier:" Alaska.
This is our second Alaska Railroad adventure (we traveled on the Denali Star about three years ago), and we're so sorry we waited so long to try this route. It's a truly special First Class Train Ride!
We'll also explain what it's like to travel in Alaska Railroad Adventure Class and show you what we experienced in Alaska Railroad GoldStar Class.

Took this as a teenager on our last trip together before my father died. This train has given me some of my best memories of him. Thank you for posting this
I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope you are doing well now ❤
@@WestonLong28 Thank you, I’m 30 now and doing well!
I’m really sorry.At least you got to did a beautiful experience with your dad before he left.I’m sure he is proud of every achievement you have done and proud of you!!!❤
Not Jeb stumbling through the phrase "two complimentary mimosas"... 🤣
Always! 🍻
Love the trip and your zest for travel however the Mimosas are not complimentary you paid for them in the fare, they are included
I've really enjoyed watching youtubers like you and Trek Trendy slowly changing from aviation geeks to general transportation geeks! They all have their pros, but nothing beats the sights you can see from a train.
Maybe they are running out of things to do reviews on.
I love the stark beauty of the pine forests and snow-capped mountains rising dramatically from the frigid waters. Incredible!
I took this train with my parents when I was 14. Don Young, the long time Congressman from Alaska, was on the train. I got to meet him, and he was a great guy and probably the least politician-like politician I've ever met. Very down to earth, and his wife Lou was lovely. The scenery on the train was amazing.
That shot was breathtaking at the 9min mark with song the mountain clear as day in the reflection of the water
What an spectacularly epic ride through the magnificent mountains of Alaska covered with snow. It is simple breath-taking scenery that leave me speechless.
As an Alaskan, its great to see you enjoying this beautiful state!
mirror image of the mountains in the water! breathtakingly spectacular. ❤👍
At 11:11 everyone is a rail fan at heart. I had a group of 40-50 people up in Maine at Old Orchard Beach a couple of weeks ago and in Old Orchard, the Amtrak Downeaster runs right through downtown. I’ve never had so many people ask me when a Downeaster train was coming because they wanted to be at a train crossing and see the train go by and the engineers did not disappoint at all. But it goes to show that everyone is interested in it and right now too, they have 2 special liveries together on the same set which makes it so much cooler
When I saw Mr jeb brooks uploaded a new train video, I cleaned my room and showered just to be in pristine condition, i genuinely love your videos so much
Another amazing video Jeb! I really enjoyed how you showcased each car in the train with the names and footage to each type of car, that was a really nice touch you should definitely do from now on! That looked like an amazing trip!! You and Suzanne(sp?) looked like you had an absolute blast on this trip! It was really awesome to see all the cool sights along the Alaska coast. I was surprised the tide can rise 40 ft, that sounds dangerous!! Everything is big in Alaska I guess, haha. I said it before and I'll say it again, you deserve your own Travel Channel TV show!! Your presentation in your videos is amazing and you genuinely love to travel and see the world. Anyways I am rambling now. Thank you both for taking the time to film and edit this and all the other videos for us to enjoy! God bless you both =)
Just have to leave a comment to acknowledge how far Susanne has come being in front of the camera, I mean she was good when she started out but she's a full blown natural now wow
I am always so excited when you post a new video. I have a master's degree in film studies and your posts are just of such high quality and they could easily be used as teaching materials at the college level.
Wow, thank you!
Nothing prepares you for Alaska’s spectacular views!
I can only dream about this.
So thanks for sharing 😊
Some of the best scenes and bloopers yet!
The views are super duper beautiful! That lake is sooo beautiful! I would love to try it one day 🙂
Thanks guys, with my headphones in I feel like I am coming along with you on your travels, and that is all credit to the two of you, thanks from the UK…
Great video. i grew up in Anchorage so i’ve done the drive to Seward and Homer a zillion times. It never gets old and you had a beautiful day.
My husband and I took this trip in August of 2013 so there was no snow on the ground then. It was a fantastic trip. We were in Adventure Class. Thank you for a great video and for these memories. ❤
Hello Jeb and Suzanne awesome video, the scenery was absolutely amazing,glad you were enjoying yourselves, thanks for sharing stay safe
Another gem! You and Suzanne have a way to showcase the absolute best. Of course, it was pretty much a given with the surroundings you had to work with! Keep up the incredible work that the two of you do!
Rode both the Coastal Classic and the Denali Star trains last week! Your video from a few years ago was the selling point to upgrade one sector on each train to Gold Star class and it was well worth it. I agree, the Coastal Classic is the train to take (and upgrade on). And a bonus perk - the integration between the Alaska Railroad and the hotels/tours in the destinations it serves is fantastic. Everything aligned to the train timetable and it was so convenient being able to check bags all the way to the next hotel's front desk and have tours either pick you up/drop you off at the train depots. Made our trip very convenient. And a layover at SEA for some planespotting was the icing on the cake ;)
I thoroughly enjoy your reviews of trains and planes, but the two of you together, I believe, is a wonderful team.
Jeb, for the amount of traveling you and Suzanne do, it would be awesome to share your packing tips and tricks and perhaps your essentials. I know a classy time piece will be one of the items ;-) but I’d love to see your thought process in streamlining your travel needs.
They already posted most of what you asked for earlier this year
More sponsors need to notice Jeb's channel. Always a treat.
TH-cam has already been destroyed by the amount of commercials it shoves in your face during even the briefest of videos....it's the last thing needed
Yes, more sponsors .eans better content
@@james-he7xvthose ads are YT ads and earn money for YT not the content creator.
@@vincent412l7Content creators get a cut of the advertising money. That's why so many complain when their videos are demonetized for showing footage advertisers don't want to be connected with.
Yay!!! I'm glad you guys got to experience the Coastal Classic! Probably the best scenery I've seen in my whole life.
It was truly STUNNING!
Those views are absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing.
We’ve taken the train from Anchorage to Denali, so thanks for letting us come along on this train to Seward! Gorgeous scenery.
Brilliant video!! Incredible and breathtaking scenery!!
Hope all is well, take care of yourselves
Mr Brooks, thanks so much for sharing this video. I've been planning a train trip for next summer, when I am retired. This is a must for me! So glad you shared this trip. You have a fabulous life right now. God Bless You and Suzanne! See you on the rails!
Yet another great video. Always good to see your smiling faces 😊
Absolutely beautiful...can;t wait for the cruise...❤
I did that trip last year. Just stunning. Absolutely amazing train trip. Head to the Anchorage Museum if you want to know and see more about the history of the railroad. And breakfast on the train was really good!
And seeing the beer reminded me - head over to the 49th State Brewery when you're back in Anchorage or near Denali. Excellent food and drink.
This just makes me want to visit Alaska so much more. Soooo beautiful!
Absolutely stunning scenery.
What a great video with all the beautiful scenery! Thank you both for another great video! Safe travels and God bless you both!
Hey there, happy first weekend of summer! Nice to be riding the rails with you guys this morning. The only problem with seeing all that magnificent scenery by train: There are so many places I would want to stop and get off to walk around, even for just a little while. (But maybe later in the year when it's not so freezing out!) At 5:19 I see you're sporting a pair of Maui Jims, the best sunglasses ever! I've been nursing my rose lens Typhoons ever since the model was discontinued more than a decade ago. Until next time, happy trails!
So glad to see yall back on The Alaska Railroad!!
Looks like you had THE MOST EPIC ADVENTURES!
Thank you. Another fascinating trip to put on the bucket list.
So beautiful ! We’re in the middle of a heat wave now so that snow looked sooooo appealing.
Thanks for another great video + info!
Our bucket list continues to grow with each of your vids! Thanks so much for the inspiration. 😉🥂
Loved this video. I can’t wait to see your cruise.
Looks incredible. Alaska is a dream destination.
Yes, another train video! Thanks for sharing Jeb.
Also, nice Breitling watch you have!
Nothing but $$$ from him.
yay finally another train video 😍
Picture perfect weather indeed! Wow. Love AK
Hi Jeb & Suzanne,
Thanks for your video of this AMAZING excursion! I was blown away by the majestic beauty of nature!
As usual you provide quality entertainment.
Best Wishes,
Peter
amazing views, thanks!!!!
I love Jeb and Suzanne has been such a great addition to the channel 💜
Jeb, great video as always! This rail trip as well as the Denali Star are on my bucket list.
Breathtaking ❤❤❤
absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks to you, I have enjoyed so many of your travels, and quickly get so engrossed in the videos. Thanks for taking me along.😊
You guys are amazing! Thank you for making these awesome videos!!!
Love these videos
AMAZING!
Amazing video guys!!!
Amazing video quality... Ty
I love Jeb Brook Saturdays :)
I took this route in June 2021 while pandemic restrictions were still in place.
The crew was amazing... The sausage in the biscuits and gravy was raindeer as well, the outside weather was short sleeves for my wife and I (Wyomingites) and we had a blast.
We spent a few days at the Van Gilder hotel, and hoped an amazing 8.5 hour Kenai Fjords National Park tour with Major Marine with Capt Laura....
If anyone you see this Capt Laura GO POKES!!! (Any coworkers see this pass it on... She'll understand)
What a wonderful way to travel to your cruise.
Really nice work on the video 😊
Great vlog as always Jeb
Thanks a lot my super Jebbs for this heart warming video, I lo😊😊v😊😊e 😊you both
This is our beautiful state! ❤
Outstanding
Jeb love this train ride!!!!
Thank you sharing very beautiful
7:21 - You guys are adorable! ❤❤❤
Hey Jeb, Always been a huge fan of your channel. Keep doing what you do. Every time you post it makes my day.
I appreciate that! Thanks so much!!!
I took this train last year (adventure class), and the weather was also perfect. It was indeed a wonderful way to travel to Seward. Agreed that the tour guide was very educative; I learned a lot about nature and local culture. I didn't know that the adventure class has access to the dome; I wish this video had existed last year.
Great trip, another Alaskan Railroad trip, this time on shorter one with more beautiful scenery.
Hey thanks for bringing this back to me love watching you guys tarlving I am glad to be with you guys 😝😝😝😂😂😂❗️❗️👍❤️❤️
I went 3 years ago. Favorite route I've ever driven. Gorgeous doesn't do it justice. I also didn't realize how lucky I was that there wasn't a cloud in the sky in Seward! Added to the whale watching experience!
Wonderful job showcasing my home state. Boy did you luck out with weather! Our spring was cold - but we are enjoying "Alaska Hot" (72°F) now.
I like all your vids, but these scenic train vids are my favorite 😊
Grand Slam on this one!
Alaskan scenery is unreal
Beautiful ❤
Beautiful
Nice job Alaska Railroad!
We flew into Anchorage and took a bus to Seward to get on our cruise years ago. It was informative and beautiful.
Great vlog as always! Looks like Norway. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
Took the train May 19 - it was spectacular! Anchorage to Seward. Got on a cruise ship the following day. Great trip!
I have taken the coast starlight and the southwest chief. I loved sitting with others. It was so fun. I’m quiet but I love listening to others.
Awesome Brietling, love all the watches from these videos
He’s loaded.
This is the train trip I want to take its on my bucket list
Wow, just beautiful scenery most of us will never get to see. I applaud you two for taking trips most of us will never have the opportunity to enjoy. I'd love to see your bucket list, it must contain some awesome places, and experiences. I can't wait to take the ride with you here on TH-cam! 👍✌🗽
Great video Jeb! I took The Alaska Railroad on that exact train and route the “Coastal Classic” from Anchorage to Seward and also part of the earlier section of the aptly named “Denali Star” from Denali to Anchorage when I visited Alaska back in 2019 I only wish I’d taken more pictures or made a video about the experience! 😂😅This video brought back some wonderful memories for me just like your last ARR video (ARR being how they abbreviate Alaska RailRoad)
When I visit Alaska again someday I’ll have to do that!
Cheers my friend 🥂 also I agree with you at 9:03 that’s how I PICTURE ALASKA! No Doubt! 🤩

Wow this is amazing 🎉🎉🎉
Cute couple and great fun!
Wow😮
Love it love ya both X
1. You definitely had beautiful weather!! 2. We were 2 weeks behind you, but instead did the train from the ANC airport to Seward. The cruise lines (NCL in our case) do a chartered train that departs from the airport, which is very convenient. No first class but every car had a clear dome top. Agree it was epic scenery - the best of Alaska! ❤️
I'll be going to Anchorage next week for the next 3 months, and this train is definitely on the to-do list!
you got so lucky with the weather!! when I took this trip it was cloudy the whole way. the views were still spectacular but the weather makes a huge difference.
