- Experience a cab ride in a modern narrow-gauge diesel on a railroad like no other. The White Pass & Yukon Route played a major role in the development of the north. Whether clinging precariously above Dead Horse Gulch, spanning Glacier Gorge or disappearing into Tunnel Mountain, you'll wonder at the magic of this land of sawtooth mountains and blue-green glaciers. Don't miss your chance to ride with engineer John Westfall from Skagway to White Pass. See the railroad's infrastructure including shops, yards, bridges, trestles, tunnels and more. Watch the rotary snow plow being restored and marvel at historic movies of the plow at work. Learn the story of the railroad born of the Klondike Gold Rush. Released in 1996. Run Time: 56:16
Thank you for the video. Really well done and informative. Breathtaking views. The story about Michael J. Heney was classic. “You give me the money I’ll give you the railroad”. Classic. Love to ride something like this someday.
This is AWESOME! Best history of this line I've seen yet! Great editing. Keep up this channel, please.
I am retired so am no longer producing or distributing. I thought I'd treat some people to what I produced years ago and put these up on youtube. I have 2 short subjects left to post on the WP&Y which I will post in the next couple months. Glad you enjoyed these.
I still have a VHS tape of this film that my grandmother brought back for me when I was three years old and after waiting for 14 years I finally got to ride the Railroad in person in 2016 and I loved it immensely.
Good for you. Glad you got to ride.
@@trainclaude thank you, I wouldn't have known about the railroad if it wasn't for this film of yours
@@RailPreserver2K You are welcome.
Yeah, I also loved the video, the third long one that I've seen, thanks so much!
I'm glad people are taking the time to view the entire videos. There is a lot of good material.
