The train had stopped on the dock where it waited for folks to exit from ships to board the train for a ride to Canada and back.

The lead cars of the train seemed to disappear into the forest as the train rounded a long curve.

The train passed by a forest that descended steeply down into a river gorge. Notice the low overhanging clouds that masked the rugged mountains from view.

It took three diesel engines to pull the train up the steep route and over the pass into Yukon in Canada.

The train did not cross that bridge until it got to it. This was the new all-steel bridge that replaced the old wood and steel bridge .

A tunnel had been dug through the rock of a mountain so that the train could more easily reach the summit.

The summit was mostly rock and snow with a low covering of green bushes. Note that this was the summer so the snow was mostly melted into puddles.

Each passenger car was heated with an oil stove at the front. This kept the inside of the cars at a chilly rather than cold temperature.

The mountains just outside the windows of the train rose dramatically high into the clouds and fog.

The engines homeward bound back to the docks and back down to sea level. Notice how lush the forests appeared in summer.
