2007 07 – Alaska Cruise – Day 3 – Skagway

I book a 8:15 AM White Rail train ride for $105 USD. It will take us up into the mountains right into Canadian territory.

Views from the train.

My car is near the end of the train.

The docked cruise ships can be seen in the distance.

The main road coming into Skagway is on the other side of the valley.

You can see where the rail line is further up the mountain, it's a long climb.

The train starts to go through one of the tunnels.

Fantastic view from this point.

An old wooden bridge no longer in use.

I manage to get a quick photo of a small grizzle feeding along the railway

Back on board for lunch before the bus tour.

The small type of bus that we'll be taking on this tour.

On our way up to a look-out point.

The tour guides put on a show depicting an older era in the Skagway area.

Back in the town of Skagway walking around the area. This snow blower is still in use during the winter to clear the tracks and on display for the tourists in the summer.

One of the few streets in Skagway.

A Holland America cruise ship is docked in the area.
