White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad

The White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, located in Skagway, USA, offers a journey through the rugged Alaskan wilderness. From the comfort of a historic train car, passengers can marvel at the sheer drops and lush, green forests that line the route. The railroad is an engineering feat, particularly on the Steam Summit Loop, which ascends 2,888 feet (880 meters) over one of the steepest grades in North America. As a working steam engine powers the ascent, visitors experience the remote and untamed beauty of the landscape, making for a memorable and scenic adventure.
