We are doing the princess cruise tour and taking the train to Denali from Whittier. Hubby wants to know if there is any where to smoke on the train outside..he said 9.5 hrs is a long time.

While this may not be the exact answer you are looking for, I know that the Alaska Railroad does not allow any smoking onboard the train. Princess cars are part of the train. Smoking areas are available outside at station stops.

Does the train actually stop anywhere

When we were on it going the opposite direction from what you are, it stopped at Talkeetna. It probably stops there both directions. If you're coming from Whittier, it'll surely stop in Anchorage. Why not check the Alaska Railroad website? That would be the best source of info.

When we did an Alaska cruisetour back in 2001, there was an open-air car on the train. My husband (a smoker) spent a lot of time out there.

The train usually stops at the airport in Anchorage, Anchorage depot in downtown area and Talkeetna. I am not sure how long the stops are but they will have pax leaving and boarding the train in these locations. As stated below you will be in Princess owned train cars attached to the regularly scheduled train. The train continues to Fairbanks arriving that evening.
