Tickets to Ride
Perhaps you and a friend want to experience the Alaska Railroad in person. You can choose from many exciting railway trips, by visiting the reservation website. The railroad offers an exciting array of special one-time events including the Alaska Mystery Train, Blues Train, Easter Train, Fair Train and Great Alaska Beer Train. Vacation rides and day trips come in a variety of prices, too. Reservations can be made by telephone, email, or directly on-line.
Clothing
If you're thinking about purchasing authentic Alaskan Railroad apparel, the Alaska Railroad Gift Shop has options that range from baby-sized rompers to adult underwear. You can purchase hoodies, hats, socks, shirts, pajamas and vests through their on-line gift store. Many of these clothing items feature the railroad's logo and come in the blue and gold hues of Alaska's state flag.
Calendars, Books and Videos
If you are interested in learning oriented Alaska Railroad gifts, you can shop for calendars, books and videos. If you can't afford a trip to Alaska, you can spend under $30 and vicariously ride the rails via video. To start every day off with a vision of Alaska's different trains powering across the Greatland, purchase an Alaska Railroad calendar. You can even order Alaska Railroad-themed books for adults or children through this on-line gift shop.

$5 and Under
