Alaska (White Pass & Yukon Railroad)
15th June 2007 to 24th June 2007

My second visit to the awesome White Pass & Yukon Railway (WP&YR) at Skagway. Hard to image that this little narrow gauge railway can move up to 6200 passengers a day. The town has 800 inhabitants, on a busy cruise ship day 12,000 visitors arrive in town. The staff on the railway are great!
