First train to Bennett at Log Cabin, B.C., July 6, 1899

On July 6, 1899, railroad construction workers finally completed the White Pass & Yukon Route through White Pass to Lake Bennett, British Columbia. It took just over a year to build the 40-mile track from Skagway, Alaska. The line was extended another seventy miles to Whitehorse in the summer of 1900 at a total cost of $10 million for the 110-mile route. In this photo, by Case & Draper, officials and dignitaries ride on a flatcar on the first White Pass & Yukon Route run between Skagway, Alaska, and Bennett, B.C. The photo was taken at Log Cabin, south of Lake Bennett. *Subjects (LCTGM): Gold rushes; Passengers; Railroads; White Pass & Yukon Route (Firm)
