SKAGWAY, Alaska — The White Pass & Yukon Railway will resume trips into Canada this summer, the first such operations since before the COVID-19 pandemic, KHNS Radio reports.
One-way passenger service to Fraser, British Columbia, will run daily from early May to early October, with return or continuing service by bus. Service to Carcross and Bennet, Yukon Territory, will begin in late May and continue through mid-September.
Tickets are now available for the Fraser trips; prices have been set for the Carcross service, with excursion dates coming soon, according to the White Pass & Yukon website. Information on combined rail and bus excursions is also available at the website.
Tyler Rose, the railroad’s executive director of human resources and strategic planning, told KHNS that the railroad has a great deal of infrastructure work to complete before the 2023 season begins but that it should be done in time: “Things look very positive right now,” he said.
