White Pass & Yukon Route

The golden spike was driven on July 29, 1900, to mark the completion of the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway. It began a fully integrated rail transportation system that grew to include lakes and river steamboats, stage lines, aircraft, bus lines, trucks, and container ships. One hundred years later, on July 29, 2000, a new ceremonial spike was driven to honor the courage and dedication that built the first northern railway and to pledge a commitment to a second century of service.
