I Rode a Ghost Train

[wingedflight21]

(I may have mentioned, and I may have forgotten to mention, that I've started up a sporadically-updated wordpress blog -- you know, the type I can show to IRL people. I'm doing it to practise writing non-fiction mostly, and I'll be cross-posting over here to some degree too.)

I should start with a clarification: The White Pass and Yukon Road

"Skagway, if you’ve never seen it" -indeed, I never have - and I expect most of your readers never have!
The mountain path (with sheer drop) would have been very daunting, given that a 100-pound pack would alter a person's centre of gravity. (If I'm interpreting this right, about the thousand pounds needing ten round trips. No useful little donkeys to carry things?)

The train-ride sounds breathtaking. The train listing to the left - I'm guessing this was over to the airy spectacular view side, not the good solid rock side - mortal terror grips! Was the decrepit bridge formerly part of the line?

Thanks for this glimpse of somewhere I've never been! :)
