Re: Is the White Pass to return to freight service

Thought I could answer a few of your questions:1.) #69 was due out June 27th and has been delayed. We are looking at an in service date the last week of July. She will run on a Sunday Fraser Meadows Excursion approx. 52 miles round trip..#73 currently operates on Saturday on a Lake Bennett Excursion..In answer to questions about freight, should there be a viable opportunity and a partner,we would always entertain the options. We are continually upgrading the infrastructure and now have Transport Canada approval for operations to Carcross YT...Look for an announcement in the near future..As to the comment about 2 or 3 trains a day, we operate up to 12 trains a day on our busiest days which are Mon-Thurs...Also standard gauging our track will not happen as long as we operate this company..also we have been working with GE on engine re builds which would give us the capability of both Psgr. & freight with todays technology..Hope this answers some of your questions.P.S. WP&YR also owns the docks in Skagway and we are always looking at improving our year round utilization..Thanks for the interest..Gary
