I like trains

Saturday morning special
ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Skagway, Alaska.  Gold rush country.  It's mid-August in 2006.  We're tour guides and drivers for a company called Frontier Excursions.  Our lodging was quite close to the railway tracks which the  White Pass & Yukon Railway utilized for their tours.  Normally they used diesel power, but on Saturdays they brought out one of their "old" steam locomotives.  The chuff-chuff-chuff of the engine as it was building up a head of steam and the whoo-whoo of the whistle are easily remembered.
