- Travel to scenic Alaska, British Columbia
and Yukon aboard the trains of the White
Pass & Yukon Route.
In this program:
• Experience being on board the train ,
trackside, and in the locomotive cab
as the train climbs from sea level in
Skagway, Alaska, to an elevation of
2,864 feet at White Pass, only 20
miles away!
• Watch as the train clings to the side
of the mountain and dives through
tunnels.
• To see the rest of the line’s operation,
you will ride the train out of Carcross,
Yukon as it goes along the shores of
beautiful Bennett Lake, then climbs
Fraser Hill to Fraser, British Columbia
.
• Enjoy scenes of the 2-8-2 steam
locomotive #73 in action as well
.
• Relive your Alaska vacation, or plan a
new one with this beautiful program.
There’s something for everyone!
This program, was shot when the classic ALCO's (MLW) and GE's were still in charge of the trains.
Enjoy line side scenes at White Pass summit with the railroad covered in snow, as well as runways on the "hidden" side of the railroad along Bennett Lake.
A great program for railfans and scenery lovers alike!

I thoroughly enjoyed the sights and sounds of the steamers at the end of the video. I'm looking forward to riding the train in mid September to celebrate my 70th birthday.
Well worth the trip. Hope you have a great birthday!
I love you guys, I watched Winter Steam Spectacular, the older version of this program, Santa Fe Mainline Memories, and Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad since I was 2, I am now 17, and I am admired by this day that I get to learn about the history and cities that I did not know about. Thank you guys for being one of my Educational virtual mentors, I am happy to see that you guys exist, you will never regret this.
Glad you've enjoyed my work all of these years!
They are amazing, I honor these railroads, and the locomotives, no matter if they're steam or diesel, I always honor their history and their fame. My favorite steam locomotive is up 844, I wish she's still run around still, but let's see what the future brings. I admired these programs and will never forget them even if they're still around. I will keep my addiction to steam locomotives and Railway Productions until the end of my days.
Very nice train video
I remember watching a similar White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad film.
I had a variation of the program that didn’t have the Carcross stuff in there.
@@RailwayProductions Cool. I would like to visit the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad again. I haven’t went to it since the summer of 2017, which was my very first visit.
Well made video
Thanks!
White Pass #192 has Arrived from Dollywood Amazement park
White Pass #69 was Getting over haul
White Pass #73 was Built By Baldwin
Thanks for the update!
Spectacular!!! And amazing production by the film crew.
Thanks for the complement!
Awesome video, would love to visit sometime!! Would love to watch a Cabview video of the line from start to finish. Sure wish they would restore the railroad all the way to Whitehorse!
Glad you enjoyed. Will get the White Pass cab rides uploaded eventually. If you’ve subscribed you’ll get a notification. Yes, wish they would reopen dormant line.
Nice video!
Thanks!
Awesome video 🚅🚅👍
Thanks!
4:09 White Pass #73 2-8-2 Engine
Yes, 73 is a little gem.
Wonderful video footage! This footage must have been taken place before the newest diesels arrived. I have traveled the WP&Y 4 times: once to Whitehorse in 1979, twice to Bennett and return in 1982, and once most recently to Summit and return. One of the trips in 1982 was behind steam locomotive #73. The BBC was aboard that trip to film it. I would always come back to ride this line!
Yes this was shot while the MLW and GE engines still ruled the roost. Glad you enjoyed!
This Is A Great Video,I'm Learning More History Cause Of It 😁😁😁😁
Glad you like it!
@@RailwayProductions I Also Like How You Post The Full Movies From The Past Here,Cause I Look Forward To Being On A Budget And Watch Your Stuff While Staying On Legal Sites Like Here
This Is Great Watching The White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad Standard Railroad Of The World Railway's Production's Southern Railway's KS One Consilidation's Southern Railway's 2-8-0's #722 & #630 🚂 🚂 🚂 😊 😊 😊 Yay Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad & Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad With K-28 2-8-2 Mikado's #473 #476 & #478
Thank you very much!
This a very informative work. You have done a great job. THe railroad production featuring this line on the Smithsonian channel is inferior compared your effort. Really enjoy all your works. My congratulations to you in this effort.
Wow, thanks for your great review. Lots of work went into this!
47:28 Nathan m3 could use a touch up.
9:18 sounds better here
great video! I am taking this tour mid April. When was this video shot? I am hopeful ill see deep snow up in the mountains
This was shot in early May 2006, and Mid-May 2007. I haven't followed the snow up there lately, but I would imagine you'll get some snow up by White Pass at least. Some things have changed, there are new modern diesels, and some of the 101 series locomotives are actually running on the Durango & Silverton now, but the ride is still just as great. If you get the chance, ride the train as far a Carcross. An entirely different experience from the ride up the pass.
That's where Yukon queen Klondike Katie and Cinderella are from originally
I wish I could ride this train. I hope you can do a cab ride or a show about the Alaska Railroad.
Have not been to the ARR. But will have White Pass cab rides between Skagway and Carcross at some point.
I did take many pictures of the Alaska Railroad between Denali and Anchorage and Denali to Fairbanks at different dates, and places in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nenana, and Denali.
There is a building in Wasilla that is housing a restoration project to bring Engine No. 557 back to life on the Alaska Railroad.
I’ll be returning to Alaska this summer for work.
I know some friends that have been on that train
I think they're retiring the old Alco and shovelnose diesels save for two of each that they intend to keep for Heritage and work train use I don't know if they're going to keep the lone 1982 wide cab on the railroad
You are correct. A number of the 90 and 101 class locomotives are for sale.
49:30
36:47 It's a shame they abandoned 40 miles of the line between Carcross and Whitehorse.
Officially it is "out of service". New owners Carnival Cruises has left open the possibility of reopening someday.
@@RailwayProductions Sad, but true. Still I hope there will come a time when they decide to reopen that part of the White Pass line.
White pass yukon route
This would be an interesting train to ride one day. One question: why doesn't this train go all the way to Whitehorse anymore?
Sorry for the delay in responding. I can't speak for the owners, but It would seem that the cruise ships are not interested in a shore excursion of that length and there are no freight customers currently up there.
No HD?
No, this program was released in SD.
@@RailwayProductions Must be great in HD.
Shame the alco diesels are retiring from use on WP&Y. steam too sadly. But at least some of the alco diesels are running at Durango and Silverton.
Other diesels are for sale. Hopefully they will find good homes.
@@RailwayProductions yep
Yea they don’t seem powerful enough for the passengers they’re getting so it makes sense. They are finding homes on smaller railroads as you said so that’s nice.
@@coasternamegenerator5611 Mhm.
So you can't go to carrcross on the train
You can go to Carcross from Skagway, but not from Whitehorse
@@RailwayProductions Why not from Whitehorse
What
I want to Google maps to take a look of the line between carcross and Whitehorse and it's in bad shape in fact One of the Bridges has collapsed in the middle
It was in bad shape 16 years ago, so I would imagine much worse now.
