Inside, the White Pass & Yukon Rail Car
|
Because this rail line ran on a 914 mm (3 foot) rail spacing, the inside of the cars were
not capacious. The aisles were so narrow that only one person could pass through at at time.
|
The floor was carpeted and the benches were screwed down to the floor. Note that the seat backs
could flip from one side to the other, making the benches reversible.
|
The inside of the rail car as seen from the platform outside. Hardy folks could stand outside
on a narrow platform and were able to get clear photographs. Others rode inside where it was warm.
|
Two trains made the trip. Ours and another just like ours but less crowded.
Here we view the inside of that other train. Notice how seats could face either way.
|
The outside platform on either end of each passenger car. It was colder out there, but
a better place from which to take photographs such as this one.
