All Aboard for the "Scenic Railway of the World"

Built in 1898, Skagway's White Pass & Yukon Route during the Klondike Gold Rush, climbs nearly 3000 ft and travels through tunnels and over bridges.

The different types of rides include travelling in old-fashioned parlor cars and can last from a 3-hour day trip to 6-hours. You can extend your route by adding on sailing or motorcoach travel. Visit http://www.wpyr.com/excursions.html

You can also travel up to 15 days from the Pacific to the Atlantic on the
Trans Canada Railway following the Rocky Mountaineer Fraser Discovery Route. See http://www.rockymountaineer.com
