On July 15, 1923, President Warren G. Harding tapped a golden spike and
officially completed the Alaska Railroad. Since completion, the Railroad has
played a central role in Alaska's growth -- providing a means for communities to
settle and flourish along the railbelt, supplying the Fairbanks gold fields,
helping to build the Alaska Highway, supporting the war effort and hauling pipe
and supplies for the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.
Today, the Alaska Railroad continues its tradition of support for the Alaska
community. We are a powerful economic engine hauling nearly 8 million tons of
freight per year. We transport building products to construct Alaska homes and
businesses and support critical resource industries such as coal, oil and gas.
Our trains carry more than 500,000 passengers annually, providing access for
Alaskans and visitors from tidewater in Seward and Whittier to the interior of
Alaska. In addition, our operation creates jobs for Alaskans employing over 700
people.
As a good neighbor, the Railroad supports various organizations, communities and
charitable fund events along the railbelt through in-kind and cash donations.
Spending by the Alaska Railroad Corporation supports nearly 1,900 Alaskan jobs
and pumps over $83 million in payroll into the state annually, according to a
new report released by the University of Alaska's
Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER).
And finally, the Railroad works to improve the quality of life for residents
along the railbelt by leasing land to communities at less than fair market value
for parks, bike trails and other public interest uses.
