All Aboard The White Pass Steam Train, Skagway Alaska

[TrevorHeath]

73 is the last steam loco made for the WP&Y (in 1948).

The Chinese built "narrow gauge" steam locos as late as 1988. Many other builders built them into the early 1960's

In 2010 the 73 & 69 were working through from Skagway to the Canadian border at Frasier, BC.

The WP&Y has two steam locos and 20 diesels.....

They don't tell you that they change to a diesel electric locomotive just outside Skagway.

[MasterOfTrains]

The White Pass Railroad has 2 steam engines and i believe up to 5 or 6 diesels and the line travels to Whitehorse in Canadas Yukon Territory

When do they run the steam trains ? I tried to go on the train ride but no steam only Diesels. They said that they only use the steam to pull the diesels outn for runs?

That must be awesome going thru the Yukon on a train ride. Especially pulled by a steam locomotive!
