White Pass & Yukon Railway, Skagway, Alaska

America loves the train, eventhough few people today have ever riden on one. Join us on the White Pass & Yukon Railway, from Skagway, Alaska to the Canadian border. Built in 1900 to support the transport of gold miners, their supplies and commerce, the construction crews faced steep cliffs and freezing winter weather building the line.

They don't move fast, but they are still way faster than the ÖBB is able to move in some parts of Austria ;)

I loved riding on this train. I grew up in Seward and there's nothing like visiting Skagway during the summer (:(:

You were so lucky having a steam loco. We only had diesel last week on our trip but we were lucky with the weather.
