White Pass & Yukon Route - By Speeder - 2006

This is a trailer of a vid to come.

In July 2006, I was invited up to Skagway by a good friend and so managed to ride on the Famous WPYR.

This is a stunning railroad, more so by speeder as there was little between me and the huge drops.

Thanks too, to NARCOA and MOW peoples for their assistance in my accreditation, insurance and organising the run.

[smncutler414]

is this a standard guage (4ft. 8.5 in.) railway?

@smncutler414 no 36"

There is quite a lot more of the line than the public trains run on, 65 out of 112 miles.

What of the rest? Is it still carrying freight or disused?

[mt14l]

The line east of Carcross is out of service. Only gold on the line is the tourist type!

Looks like a truly great place to visit! Also would be very fun too. Great video.

Aaawwwww the good old motercarts. Love them. Have traveled the route to many times to count they are a little different theses days and a little warmer. Lol , but always a beautiful view.

Probably the smallest kind of real size railway equippement  to own privately !

I like the railspeeders !

[emmasweeny]

They start at $3000 for one that needs work and go up from there. Looks like fun but I'll stick with 1:8 scale for now. It's not cheaper, but it's easier to transport!

i wonder how much them rail cars cost. i will love to have me one of those...

[bluehachiroku]

I love speeders ! They make me laugh, but they'd be so much fun. Railroading right to the basics!

(I keep thinking of someone rolling down the street sitting on an office chair... you know,someone sitting bolt upright doing 40kph and really not that much else!)

This would be a great trip tha's f' sure.
