The pioneers of the early days sure had it tough!
Really enjoyed the tribute to Michael Heney ‘Dreams of the Yukon’.
Great images. Are they yours?

Yes, thanks Carolyn, all the images on the blog are mine but I don’t have anything to do with the videos. Early days were tough indeed. 🙂

That was someone filming in the middle of nowhere. I took a photo of them from the train going by. Have no idea who it was.

Amazing photos and slide show. The trains are beautiful, but for sure I couldn’t ride through the pass. 😉 Really an interesting music video with some great vintage photos. I hope your Tuesday is going well, see you later! ~ Mia 🙂

You’re welcome. It’s looks like it was a beautiful ride, but kind of narrow at points, am I right? Ha-ha! 🙂 Oh no, Tuesday was Monday, yikes, will Wednesday be Tuesday? Thank you, you have a lovely evening as well, pleasant dreams. *Hugs* ❤
