"White Pass & Yukon Route Handbook" by C.E. Mulvihill

I mentioned that I picked up "Ride Guide to the Historic Alaska Railroad" before getting on the Alaska Railroad trip that we enjoyed.  Well, while in Skagway, I picked up the similar "White Pass & Yukon Route Handbook" by C.E. Mulvihill.

I think I paid about 10 bucks for this one.  Even though we weren't able to enjoy this ride, I was glad to get this book.  It literally gives a mile by mile description of what can be seen on your journey! 

We are talking about a return visit to Alaska, and this book has made me really want to get in some track miles when we go back to Skagway.

I would love to know of other similar train related guidebooks that are available.  Any suggestions?

I have a book called "Cinders & Smoke" which is a guide to the Durango & Silverton in Colorado. The author, Doris Osterwald, seems to have done similar guides for most of the Colorado tourist railroads.
