White Pass and Yukon Railroad Diesel Locomotives

The White Pass and Yukon is the busiest tourist railroad in North America. Over 600,000 passengers a year board the train in Skagway, Alaska for the scenic journey over the Coastal Mountains and into Canada. While steam locomotives once ruled the rails on this picturesque narrow gauge railway, diesel-electric units are now the main form of motive power for the White Pass and Yukon. In this video, we will take a look at the three different types of diesel locomotives used on the railroad and then we will go trackside for a look at several of them in action in September of 2024.
