Alaska Pacific Railroad

The Alaska Pacific Railroad, established in the early 20th century, was a transportation company that primarily built and operated railroads in Alaska to support resource development, such as logging and mining. Its network helped move goods and people across challenging terrain in a region with difficult access. The company played a vital role in connecting remote communities and facilitating economic activity in early Alaskan history. Over time, its operations evolved with technological advancements and changing industry needs, making it an important part of Alaska’s transportation infrastructure and development.
