Heading out from Skagway from sea level to 2,865 feet in only 20 miles

The Narrow Guage (3ft) Railway was started in 1898

The last spike was driven in 1900

The Railway extended 110 miles to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory

Much of the way to the summit is built on a 3.9% grade

Built on the very edge of the mountain!!

Martha enjoying the view

I took most of these pictures from this platform between rail cars

In the middle is a trestle we will be going over later during the climb
