White Pass & Yukon Route operates a nearly 70-mile narrow-gauge mountain railway that links Skagway, Alaska, with Carcross, Yukon. The line was built in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush and climbs elevation through tunnels and over trestles. It is a regulated transportation operation governed by U.S. and Canadian authorities, with cross-border crews and maintenance windows that often occur at night in summer. Safety depends on precision, adaptability, and skilled personnel. Based in Skagway, Alaska, the company also operates in Carcross, Yukon, and participates in the travel arrangements industry by offering a historic rail experience. Notable developments include being named Scenic Railway of the World in 2023 and the 2018 acquisition by Carnival Corporation.
