The Alaska Railroad is cool, don't worry about stations, when/where you want to get off just tell them and they stop the train. Then when you want to get on, just stand by the tracks and they'll stop, pick you up and even help load your gear, weapons, and dead moose.
The exception is when you take a vehicle along you can only get on/off at certain stations. My van had a two foot square roof vent/escape hatch over the bed, so my wife would stand on the bed to take pictures from about 14 feet above the tracks where she could get a good view over the scrub brush.
