The two train rides are quite different. The Yukon train essentially goes along the very edge of a mountain -- one side of the train is smack against the side of the mountain, the other side of the train you can see the "drop off" down the cliff, and see where you've been! (see the tracks behind you, and in front of you, and so on.) And the vegetation changes dramatically, from "regular" sized trees at the bottom, where you board the train, to the same aged trees -- but VERY much smaller, at the top! The train is climbing the mountain -- not going on a more horizontal path from point A to B, like the Alaskan trip from Anchorage to Seward.I don't know that you can take the Yukon train one way! We were not permitted to get off the train at the top. When the train reached the summit it stopped and some folks got off and took pictures, but then re-boarded and did the return trip.We didn't rent a car, so can't offer any thoughts about that..
