    My grandparents took me on a trip to Alaska when I was 10 (20 years ago and they’ve both passed) and I’ve spent hours trying to remember what train in all of Alaska we took. The one specific thing I remembered about it was that a boulder rolled down the cliff onto the workers that was so big they could never recover their bodies and that there was a cross left to memorialize them over 100 years ago. Finally figured out it was this one! Thank you for posting 😊

    I have done the White pass, but I can tell you this past May I did the Taku large and five glaciers flying over it through Wings airway and that excursion top of the top. It surpasses the train for me. Personally, you got to fly over five glaciers and I got to meet there and we had an awesome dinner my goodness to walk back to a beautiful waterfall I mean, that had it all, the history of the was just amazing

    We did the round-trip version in 2015 on our Princess Alaska trip. It was one of our all-time favorite excursions. It worked well for my husband, who was having trouble with his hip (since replaced) as even in the non-accessible cars there was minimal walking- just a couple of steps up to get in the car and a couple of steps down. It was spooky and foggy at the top of the route- really cool! Thank you for posting this- great to see some of the scenery again. :)

    We took this trip last week. We boarded near our cruise ship (Ovation of the Seas) and went round trip. The train does cross the Canadian border and goes round trip without stopping. No need to change seats since your view changes on the return.

    At the beginning of the video you mention the different train ride options: round trip, one that goes into Canada, and one with a bus. You say you'll talk about those later but then don't. I was looking for a comparison.
