White Pass pushes Yukon rail routes

News directly from CBC Canada.

CBC News web page

The head of the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad Company says he wants to bring back freight rail service to the Yukon, as the territory's mining industry is on the upswing.

White Pass president Eugene Hretzay signed a letter of understanding Friday with the Alaska municipality of Skagway, agreeing to push towards restoring rail service to Whitehorse and perhaps even through to Carmacks, Yukon.
