Steam & Excursion > Planes and Boats and Trains - 3Date: 07/23/14 08:13 Planes and Boats and Trains - 3 Author: africansteam A few shots on our return.
1. Up against the cliff. 2. Steel Bridge. At an elevation of 2, 613 feet above sea level this was the tallest cantilever bridge in the world. It has been out of service since 1969. 3. Through the wigglies.    Date: 07/23/14 08:16 Re: Planes and Boats and Trains - 3 Author: africansteam 4. The gold rush trail of 98 parallels the tract in some places.
5. A diesel powered train dropping down into Skagway ahead of us. 6. A diesel powered passenger was waiting on the dock when we returned.

The WP&Y is a very enjoyable event and if one has the time the full day trip is also very enjoyable, however, the steam engine doesn't usually make that long trip.

The last wood bent, next to the steel portion, has pulled clear of the deck.
