Thank you for the detailed write up John. Very interesting!
I am surprised the Carcross service is a round trip. I road the Carcross service back in 2012 and I believe back then, one day the consist ran to Carcross and the next day it made the trip back. And this was an all day trip. We were first off the boat and last to get back on, in fact, the ship had to wait on us. I would guess that combined with bus service, this gives greater flexibility as one set of passengers ride up to Carcross and another set ride back. This would help fit the trip with your ship's arrival and departure times. I am just surprised yall were able to speed it up enough for a round trip run. I would guess it is the speeding up of the schedule with what killed the Bennett lunch service?
BTW: I highly recommend the Carcross run!
