Early beginnings. Starting in 1902 the Alaska Central RR (ACR) was one of the three railroads that led to the building of the present day Alaska Railroad Corp. (ARRC). Starting at Seward the line went north 51 miles to Spencer. Located 13 miles south of Portage, Spencer was the point at which the ACR fell into receivership in 1909.
In 1899, gold was found in Alaska itself in Nome, and several towns subsequently began to be built, such as Fairbanks and Ruby. In 1902, the Alaska Railroad began to be built, which would connect from Seward to Fairbanks by 1914, though Alaska still does not have a railroad connecting it to the lower 48 states today.
