White Pass & Yukon Railway – Rail Enthusiast Spectacular by Trains & Travel International
The White Pass & Yukon Railway will host three charter trains featuring steam and diesel locomotives on a 68-mile route between Skagway, Alaska, and Carcross, Yukon, after the cruise ship season in 2024. The charters will include steam locomotive No. 73, a 2-8-2 Baldwin built in 1947, a General Electric shovel nose diesel, and an Alco/Montreal low hood DL535. The trains will traverse the rugged terrain, offering photo run-bys along sheer rock cliffs, wooden trestles, and tunnels. This event marks the return of railfan charters to the White Pass & Yukon Railroad after a 20-year hiatus.
