Is the Alaska Railroad GoldStar worth it?

My husband and I took the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage to Fairbanks, stopping for the night in Denali. We upgraded to Gold Star in the domed car for the first half, Anchorage to Denali and I am glad we did. The seats are up higher because the dining car is in the bottom of the car.

Most people that have traveled the entire Alaska Railroad system would likely agree that either the Denali Star route between Anchorage and Denali or the Coastal Classic Route between Anchorage and Seward is the most scenic. On a clear day, it hard to top the views of Mt. Denali from the train.
