Here's the last southbound train of the season, rolling into Carcross, #Yukon. Just six of us got on. A mother grizzly was wandering the village, so the stationmaster lent me bear spray. This week’s High Speed dispatch, on riding the White Pass & Yukon: highspeed.blog/last-train-out-of-carcross/

The ride to Skagway may be the most stunning scenery of any train I've taken on this continent.

This is the busiest passenger rail crossing of the US-Canada border. Skagway (pop. 1,200) to White Pass Summit (pop. 0) on the White Pass & Yukon has twice as many passengers a year as Seattle to Vancouver, even through the trains only run for half the year.
