Railroad Building, Skagway

Railroad Building, Skagway

Skagway is a frontier town, founded in the very late 1800s as access to the Klondike several hundred kilometers to the north. There's only a couple of hundred people here in the winter, but during the cruising season, it's replete with occupants and tourists. The cruise ship companies (notably Carnival, which owns Princess and Holland America, not to mention the White Pass & Yukon railroad) has invested heavily in the town to make it almost Disney-like in appearance. This building sits next to the WP&YR station building and is a gorgeous example of Skagway's architecture.
