Skagway’s White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad has new owners and a new president. The sale of the company was finalized July 31. TWC Enterprises sold the rail-and-port operations to a joint venture, which includes Ketchikan-based Survey Point Holdings, its affiliates Rail Management Services, shareholders of the transportation company Carrix and the cruise company Carnival Corporation.
