White Pass Railroad
It took 2 years, 35,000 men
And 10 million dollars to build,
But the railroad in Skagway, both scenic and cool,
Still keeps passengers awestruck and thrilled.
It climbs to the summit in just 20 miles
Where it reaches to 3,000 feet
And for heart-stopping views on a narrow gauge track,
The experience cannot be beat.
You can stand between cars if you're daring and dressed
In some layers to keep you like toast,
But it's worth it, for that's where the vistas impress -
And the mem'ry will stay with you most.
