White Pass & Yukon Route Railway - Skagway, Alaska 

I love these kind of travel videos, especially when they involve trains.

I've been so busy i've missed many of your wonderful videos glad I caught this one.

Now THAT looks fun! I'd definitely wanna do it on the steam train!

Thanks Carl!

After 15 cruises and 55 shore excursions, the White Pass Railroad is my favorite. Last year I took the tour which combined the train with a bus to Carcross Yukon. LOVELY !

Best thing I saw on vacation was seeing #190, another Yukon locomotive, still in action on Tweetsie Railroad. Imagine if the Yukon Queen came back and found one of her sisters still steaming down the line.

That it was!

Thanks Doug! We had a lovely time there! Would love to go back!

I've seen the Highlands in Scotland this last summer. Just beautiful.

wonderful vid!!! :) Loved it!!! ^^

I was blessed to travel to the Yukon in June 2014 and after travelling by bus up through White Pass to Carcross with a side trip to Emerald Lake, we then took the train back down to Skagway. My husband and I have travelled to many parts of the world but this was by far my favourite excursion of any. In Carcross, much to my amazement, I went through what is considered the best taxidermy museum in the world and I'm not at all surprised with their lifelike displays of woolly mammoths, the largest grizzly bear ever seen and all the wildlife of this beautiful area from tiny snowshoe rabbits up to huge moose standing over nine foot tall, several elk, wolves hunting in packs, all sorts of bears as well as countless other smaller wildlife and of course the ones I've already mentioned. What is great about the display is the fact that none of the animals were killed on purpose. The pristine wilderness was breathtaking and I would go back again tomorrow - and I live all the way across the world in Australia! I would actually love to do a month travelling the Yukon with my hubby in an RV just to take it all in. Thanks for sharing this so I could relive so many beautiful memories.

That was probably one of the best, if not the best, stories you've ever told in your videos. I loved it!

Very Nice, but WP&Y 73 was built by ALCO

I was planning to video White Pass & Yukon 73, but I did video it on the first videoing of the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad when we went to Skagway, Alaska from Car Cross, Canada to there in Skagway.

What a beautiful trip! You described it so well too Steve. Yet another amazing video, thank you sir!

Wow! Great story there! Thanks for sharing it!

I'm glad that you do! Thanks for watching!

Great video, Steve! It brought back so many memories of the time I took the same trip fifteen years ago, but I did it by road from the Canadian side down to Skagway and Dyea, and then back again... Another trip to Alaska by road is on my bucket list :)

I hope that Miracle does come along!

LOL - So true! Thanks for watching!

I'm sure you'd love it!

Thank you my friend!

In a nice way, your smile is bit like that of Ernest P. Worrell (Enerst Saves Christmas fame)!

Thanks a ton Mark!

You really thrilled my heart Steve with this one. I love the old steam loco's and have since I was a kid many moons ago. What beautiful country you are in there in Alaska.. .One of the most beautiful places I remember is Yosemite National Park. It too has the famous Bridal Veil Falls....Thanks again for this amazing video my friend...........Doug....=)

Thanks a ton!

My mother had wanted to go to Alaska as one of the final states to reach seeing all 48 in her lifetime. But she is no longer so mobile at 72 and won't likely be able to get there. Unless some miracle comes along and heals her enough to get around.

Brilliant. I must do that trip sometime.

all u need is a rag time piano in the background and a nice refreshment on that train. nothing could make it better! alaska is beautiful!

Should disclosure actually happen soon and the star nations land, getting us both fixed is high on my priority list.

Excellent Enterprising Endeavour 🙏

exactly!

awesome video!! Makes me homesick...

Thanks for watching this one! I'll be back in Korea later this month and new Korean Videos start in September!

This is Dollywoods #70's sister!

You should be on television. :)

I really did. It's the second time I've been there. I actually wouldn't mind living there for a season creating content and exploring all of Skagway!

So am I! I hope all is well and that you're able to slow down a little soon!

That would be epic! I would love to do it all b road!

Thanks. I hope you have as great of a time as we did!

Thanks! Such a great complement from you!

Thank you for such a great complement!

;-) Glad you enjoyed it my friend!

I wonder if he noticed the hoof prints etched in the stone, from the horses that were loaded down with supplies of the prospectors headed into the Yukon during the gold rush of 95, on the top of White Pass. I filmed the entire trip up the White Pass from the open car on the rear of the train. Highly recommend this trip. You will see things, you could only imagine. You actually travel up through the clouds, to get to the top. Truly an amazing trip. To think we paid 7.2 million dollars for Alaska, in 1967. I'll bet the Russians are still kicking themselves in the butt.

I'm sure you'd both love it.

i love the Badlands! They're amazing!

one of my favorite memories from one of so many vacations was August 5th 2006. I was in Skagway Alaska and i rode a white pass pulled by the old 73! As a rail fan and true railroader, that was one of the most mesmorizing experiences ever. The best part was, i was fortunate to got to ride in the cab of old 73 and i got to blow that whistle a few times. i honestly i thought i was in a railfans paradise. it really was truly amazing.

Wow. That's a great story!

Steve, i also want to mention one of my good friends from college, His Great Great Grandfather was Michael J. Heney, the person responsible for the construction of this railway!

Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad I was able to help bring back some fond memories!

We lived there for a summer a few years ago and really enjoyed it. If we can take that kind of time off again, may repeat. Really a neat place to explore.

Amazing! Closer then you think ;-)

Glad you enjoyed our town!

Great video, would love to ride that old steamer myself.

Does the train has restroom? i am traveling with a kid!

I went on this very stem engine
