Recent visit to the White Pass & Yukon RR...

[p51]

Just got back from a 15th anniversary Alaska trip with my wife. We honeymooned there in 2000...

Ah, what wonderful sights to see...

But yeah, I mostly agreed for the trains!

My long-suffering wife actually liked the ride this time (last time, she dealt with a bunch of rude Germans and wanted to start WW3 right there). Lots of Germans this time, but they were all very nice and I got to talk with a few in their native language!

No steam running (73 was outside of the shop at Skagway with the smokebox lid removed) but it's amazing to see this downtown:

That's it for now, until I can cull through almost 1000 photos we took...

Nice!

I would love to go there.

How was the ride? was it smooth? or is it like a boat ride?

About as smooth as, say, a ride on one of the old D&RGW lines in CO/NM states...
I put a write-up about the experience here: http://4dpnr.org/grabiron/?p=5486
