Title: The White Pass and Yukon Route: a pictorial history.
Description: Missoula, MT, Pictorial Histories Pub Co, (1982). 3rd ptg. VG lg sz PB. After making the 110-mile journey from Skagway to Whitehorse in the comfort of a modern train, it is hard to imagine the. hardships endured by the gold stampeders as they trekked across the mountain passes 80 years ago. The Klondike Gold Rush spawned the railroad in 1898. I have tried to tell the history of the railroad mainly through photos. I hope it provides an insight into the White Pass and Yukon's importance to the north country.The last scheduled narrow-gauge freight railroad still operating in either the U.S. or Canada and is of paramount importance to the development of the Yukon.
