In Alaska, the Alaska Rail Road uses flatcars for auto travel from Portage
(south of Anchorage) to Whittier where you can catch a ferry to Valdez or other
points along Prince Williams Sound. It is the only alternative, other than
flying, as there is no road to Whittier. You drive on, pay a fee of
about $45. and off you go, sitting in your car. Great scenery, no food 
service and bathrooms that are more male-friendly and require consideration
of windage.
