Today I went on the White Pass and Yukon Railroad. It is the route that the Stampeders took from Skagway to Dawson City, Yukon where the gold rush took place. It was very fun and I saw lots of amazing sites. I went though two tunnels and over four bridges.

One bridge was very narrow and also old and when you looked down there was a one thousand foot drop.

These are two bridges along our route. We went over the first but the other old Cantilever Bridge is too old to go over.

While we were at the summit of the mountain, another train passed and the people were drinking champagne.

Our train went around the corner and over a steep bridge of which a small waterfall was.
