Selected Photos - Whittier Alaska - Train to Ship and departure on Cruise

Hope you like some of these photos detailing my trip, via train to Whittier for boarding of my cruise.


  • Whittier has one way in by land, a 2.5 mile long tunnel through the mountain under an alpine glacier.
  • That tunnel is one lane and is shared by both road vehicles and train and so entry is coordinated with trains having right of way as the railroad owns the tunnel
  • Whittier was originally a secret military outpost due to is secluded location
  • NOTE: Click on photo to see enlarged and have slideshow to click through them
