Steam Box

Al ask again

Taken on 25 May 2008

The only significant thing thats changed in Scagway in the last 120 years is the population now drive 4x4s instead of riding horses (Oh and Sarah Palin was not born). The first place you come to as you get off a cruise ship is the local Brothel (now decomisioned) Did not see Number 73 the custom built steamer that is available. Line is 3ft gauge and runs right into the dock area.
On finding the T I office we went in and found a nice young lady who asked if she could help. "Which of the steam engines is going up the mountain today" I asked. The reply cut really deep as she said "Oh you don't want that smelly,dirty old thing and anyway it only runs on a Saturday" Well it looked like double headed Diesel or nothing so off we went. Route is 110 miles in length although we only went 42 miles. It was still another 600 miles to the yukon at the end of the line.
