The historic Iditarod Trail begins at the waterfront in the downtown district where the city docks stood prior to the catastrophic 1964 earthquake. From this terminal was also the beginning of the privately-owned Central Alaska Railroad which eventually was owned by the federal government and now a corporation owned by the State of Alaska and named the Alaska Railroad.
