EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in Alaskan history. Taken on February 20,1899, it showcases the first passenger train to traverse the treacherous White Pass and Yukon Route near Skagway, Alaska. The image transports us back to the turn of the century when transportation was still a formidable challenge in this rugged terrain. The sepia-toned print reveals a majestic mountain backdrop as the narrow gauge locomotive triumphantly crosses a sturdy bridge. This remarkable feat of engineering allowed for unprecedented travel through these remote lands, opening up new opportunities for exploration and commerce. The photograph is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel collection, which specializes in preserving historical moments like this one. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in conquering nature's obstacles. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the pioneers who embarked on this late 19th-century journey into uncharted territory. Their bravery paved the way for future generations to experience Alaska's beauty and untamed wilderness firsthand.
