What you have here is a picture from the international boundary in White Pass
( elevation 2,890 feet), about 135 miles east of AKBCYT. The railroad is the
dead give-away. This is where the White Pass & Yukon Route, a narrow-gauge
railway built in 1898 during the Klondike gold rush, crosses the AKBC boundary.
The railway ( www.whitepassrailroad.com ) runs from Skagway, Alaska, on the
coast, inland through British Columbia and to the Yukon River at Whitehorse,
Yukon Territory. The railway hauls tourists today.
