If you think about it, the White Pass & Yukon is really the modern-day equivalent of a trolley park, owned and operated by a transportation company for the amusement of its passengers.
I also assume cruises stopping in Skagway are more profitable because their trips are longer and attract higher income passengers.
(As opposed to the 3 day cruises that attract the guy who got someone to cover a couple of his shifts at Taco Bell and now has 72 hours to pound as many Bud Lites as humanly possible.
