Location

Talkeetna Depot is a freight and passenger railroad station in Talkeetna, Alaska. The station offers service for the Alaska Railroad's Denali Star and Aurora Winter Train routes. ^[1]

The railroad sought to move Talkeetna's passenger stop in the late 1990s, selecting a site to the south of downtown and the historic depot. ^[2] The new depot opened in August 1997. ^[3] Freight operations were maintained at the old location.
