White Pass sets record


By the Journal Staff

White Pass & Yukon Railway reported it carried a record number of passengers this summer. The visitor attraction tallied more than 305,000 passengers during the visitor season, company officials said.

In 2000 White Pass & Yukon Railway carried 303,000 passengers.

In addition, Princess Cruises & Tours has chosen White Pass & Yukon Railway as the Skagway shore excursion of the season.

The award is presented to shore excursions that are most popular with cruise passengers.

The White Pass & Yukon Railway was built between 1898 and 1900 to connect the port of Skagway with gold fields in Canada.
