Exploring the White Pass & Yukon - Part Two

In this video you'll get to ride the cab as we leave Skagway and start the climb. I've included the radio dialogue and text descriptions to explain what the crew is thinking about as we leave town. I had permission to ride the cab on a day off with my camera and just hadn't gotten around to editing the footage. Considering we're going into a second year without passenger trains operating on the White Pass & Yukon, I hope everyone enjoys some unique footage.

I did my best to keep the audio from clipping by using a second field recorder, but the 73 is the loudest engine I've ever worked on and combining the high's of the exhaust with the deep rumble of the fire, it took a lot of time to edit to some decent levels. Hope you enjoy.
