White Pass is an authentic and unique experience, providing quality and value through spectacular scenery, vintage rail equipment, historic sites and informative narration. Over 380,000 passengers rode our rails in 2011, making us the most popular cruise ship shore excursion in Alaska! The people of WP&YR are passionate and sincere about the quality of the WP&YR experience; we actively build and support relationships with cruise lines, tour companies and networks of railfans. Either way, let us know if you have a question, comment or concern at any time - www.wpyr.com/comment or email us at [email protected]. The White Pass experience is both functional and emotional. Functionally, WP&YR provides comfortable accessibility to a unique and genuine scenic and historical experience. On an emotional level, the WP&YR symbolizes accomplishment in adventure and pioneering; of triumph over challenge. If you haven't had the opportunity to experience our stories, scenery and history with us, we hope that you take the chance to come visit us real soon.

Our early season passengers are taking in all the snowy greatness that is the White Pass Summit in May. Trees are starting to pop with green buds in Skagway but as you gain elevation during your excursion, you are quickly transported into a wintry scene.

White Pass is waking up from our short winter hiatus to begin clearing tracks, starting up equipment and ensuring we have a experienced team in place to welcome our first guests on April 30. It is a big lift in the spring to prepare for the summer season but we wouldn't have it any other way!
If you are traveling with us in early May, expect a snowy scene at the White Pass Summit. Pack those layers, sunglasses and get ready for a glimpse of winter aboard the WP&YR!

🚢✨ Just 82 days until the first cruise ship of 2026 arrives in Skagway!
Reservations are now OPEN for our legendary steam train excursions—don’t miss your chance to ride history before tickets sell out.

At the heart of the experience is Engine No. 73, a stunning 65-ton, 2-8-2 Mikado-type narrow-gauge steam locomotive built by Baldwin Locomotive Works and delivered to WP&YR in May 1947. As the last steam engine purchased by the WP&YR and one of the final narrow-gauge steam locomotives built in the U.S., No. 73 served faithfully until 1964. After a brief retirement, it was restored 1982 and remains the pride of the White Pass fleet.

Today, Engine No. 73 invites guests on a truly unforgettable journey—traveling back in time through the breathtaking Alaskan mountains and Canadian landscapes, powered by living steam history. 🚂❄️🏔️

🎟️ Book now through your cruise line or visit our website, www.wpyr.com, to secure your seat aboard this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
