Alaska Central railroad fuels optimism for interior mining
The Alaska Central railroad plan aims to push past Knik Arm into the interior, enabling rail and trail access to Kantishna and Yentna camps. It promises easier freight and passenger movement, spurring prospecting across Central Alaska, with hydraulic and dredge mining expanding along Willow Creek and other creeks. Quartz mining near Fallsek and Kenai deposits attract investor attention as rail construction proceeds.
