Here's
a 1999 rear view of the old WP&YR depot and Railroad Building
with a returning train about to unload passengers. |
 |
An
early morning's midsummer view of the depot in 2000. Who could
believe from this how busy it will soon become? |
 |
A
1999 view through the closed doors of the current WP&YR depot
in late afternoon. |
 |
A 2000 view of the depot's walkway showing
the addition of the mural near the ceiling. The mural on both
left and right walls documents the history of the WP&YR from
the beginnings of the Klondike Gold Rush to the WP&YR Centennial
in 2000. |

To
the left of the hallway above is the ticket office, where independent
travelers obtain information and buy their tickets for the various
railroad excursions including a flag stop ticket to let the visitor
hike to Denver or Laughton Glaciers, a Summit Excursion, a Lake
Bennett Adventure, or even through service to Whitehorse which
is a rail/motorcoach offering. |

Here's
a 1999 view from Centennial Park of a rare event, five different
WP&YR power sources—Rotary #1 and Engine 73 which are
both steam-powered, and the diesel-electric 90- and 101-class
locomotive examples as well as the youngest locomotive in the
fleet, Engine 114. In the background are the historic WP&YR
buildings, now part of the National Park Service as well as the
current WP&YR depot. |
