The Yukon Gold Rush
started in Skagway and then on to the Yukon territory in Canada. Eventually they built a railway to get the gold-rushers to the gold. There was money in them hills but not necessarily with gold.
The train still runs but now for the tourist dollar.

The Views were the best on the platform of the train car. An interesting image.
The Views were just breathtaking. It's hard to imagine the gold-rushers had to carry 2000 lbs of provisions into the gold fields or the Canadian government wouldn't let them in.
