White Pass & Yukon Railroad

This circa 1905 postcard of the the White Pass & Yukon narrow gauge railroad has a long history and still operates today. Here we get an idea of just how bleak it can be in this part of Alaska. What a great view of a combination trestle and tunnel! For more information on the WP&Y, click Here.


Deep snow and long winters brought out the snow plows on the WP&Y in this circa 1915 view.The White Pass must have been the coldest and snowiest narrow gauge lines in North America.
