Trains
to Nowhere, Safety Roadhouse and Safety Sound
About 40 miles East of Nome are the "Trains to Nowhere", three steam locomotives from the early part of the last century frozen in time. The relics of an industrial idea that failed to take into account the fury Nature can unleash in this part of the world. The trains sit in the spectacular back round of Safety Sound a 30-mile stretch of tidal wetlands home to many migrating birds and nesting area for Tundra Swans.
We will stop at the remains of ancient Eskimo mound dwellings that existed where many modern day Eskimo people have their camps today. Safety Roadhouse, the last official checkpoint on the Iditarod Trail is a good stop to visit. There is a bar and restrooms to refresh all.
