  • 1. Hurricane Turn Talkeetna
    The Hurricane, or Hurricane Turn, is a passenger train operated by the Alaska Railroad between Talkeetna and Hurricane Gulch in Alaska. This train is unique in that rather than making scheduled station stops, it is a flag stop train meaning that passengers between Talkeetna and Hurricane can wave a white cloth anywhere along the route and the train will stop to pick them up. The train runs Thursday-Sunday between the months of May and September and the first Thursday of every month the rest of the year.Effective 2009 the Budd Rail Diesel Cars are no longer used on the Hurricane Turn. Current configuration is two locomotives, two passenger cars and one baggage car. The Hurricane Turn is one of the last true flag-stop trains in the United States.
