3 Programs on one DVD!
Enjoy three spectacular White Pass & Yukon feature programs in the eye-popping sharpness of DVD. Ride with the engineer in Engineer's Point of View to experience the thrill of this railroad from the locomotive cab and listen to the engineer's stories about railroad operations.
You'll enjoy the history of this international treasure in Gold Rush Railroad. Don't miss rare historical motion picture footage, some in color! See steam and diesel locomotives, a rotary snow plow, and freight as well as passenger trains. Learn how this railroad helped build the Alaska Highway during World War II and how it reduced the 6 month ordeal of travel to the Klondike gold rush to a 6 day journey.
Watch Scenic Railway of the World for a guided excursion on a railroad that hangs from mountains decorated with waterfalls, lakes, glaciers, forests, eagles and bears. The DVD includes an additional 9 minutes in three short specials that are not on the VHS-tape set that we also offer. One special is on the restoration of the rotary snow plow, another on steam loco 73 and the third on the Gold Train that ran all the way from Skagway to Carcross in 1997. The producer of these programs lived in Whitehorse and spent a decade shooting this footage. Living near the railroad allowed him to shoot footage in the best weather possible, images you don't want to miss on DVD.
