Featuring the photography of Ken DeJean and Ken Goslett. North America’s most remote railroad is examined in all its beauty and unique operation. "Fro more than eight decades, the WP&Y Railway hauled freight and passengers over 110 miles of ruggedly scenic three-foot-gauge main line between Skagway, AK and Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory of Canada. The White Pass and Yukon perfrormed heroically during WWII - when, under US Army operation, it was a vital supply route for construction of the strategic Alaska Highway. A decade later, it pioneered in the development of intermodal containerization. The catastrophic loss of minerals traffic after the economic downturn of 1982 led to the railroad's shutdown. The booming Alaska cruise industry triggered a partial revival in 1988, but the road's days as a freight -hauling common carrier were over.
