Heading up to the White Pass

Heading up to the White Pass

Most of the WP&YR is a single track, so there are limited opportunties for passing. This train had passed us a few minutes before. We trundled along, presumably slowly enough so we could see the other train paralleling us on the opposite side of the valley, and a couple of hundred metres further up, as it heads to Divide.
