White Pass & Yukon Route Hand Book

After arriving in Skagway in June, 1948 — or indeed almost anytime in the last 119 years — the logical thing to do is to continue traveling north on the White Pass & Yukon Route. In 1948, that meant taking the train to White Horse, and from there a White Pass riverboat to Dawson City. The trains once operated year round but today they only run in the summer and only go as far as Lake Bennett, roughly halfway to Whitehorse.

White Pass & Yukon Route Hand Book — 1 Comment

  1. The brochure looks quite dated…it must have been a reprint (but it does mention the Aleutian Islands campaign and the Canol project on page 11).

    And bonus…this brochure does have a timetable on page 54…and the times are the same as those in ORG’s from 1948.

    Technically, on Sundays and Wednesdays, there were two trains northbound: Train 1 to Whitehorse, and Train 3, the “West Taku Arm Special” to Carcross.

    The latter summer excursion train ran on and off over the years, sometimes to Carcross, sometimes to Whitehorse; and sometimes southbound as well as northbound. Notably, it loaded at the Skagway wharf, in much the same location as the cruise ship specials nowadays.
