An Engineer’s Point of View (White Pass & Yukon Narrow Gauge, Skagway, White Horse, Yukon, Canada)

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.

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
