Skagway July 2015
Our cruise docked right next to the railway line of White Pass train.
The rail road began construction in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush as a means of reaching the gold fields. With its completion in 1900, it became the primary route to the interior of the Yukon, supplanting the Chilkoot Trail and other routes.
