So here I am in Skagway, Alaska - Population 600! - And I haven't seen a single SKY yet. Not one.

What are you doing there? Did you make a wrong turn somewhere?
(probably a good time to be there, but i know I don't do alaska. send someone else... not my systems installed in that region anyway.)

And the trains that I play with! (That's what I'm doing in Alaska, Mark!)

WOW!!! Those pics are amazing! You didn't take those did you?
Maybe I shouldn't refuse all the time. The n/w guys just take pics of ice.

You have big toys you play with.

Can we get more pics?

I remember you saying this in another thread. Looks like you have a great job. Not bad to get paid for what you love to do in in such an incredible place!

I took the one of the steam loco. That's in Bennett, British Columbia (real important place during the Klondike Gold Rush). The second is a stock shot. The third photo my mom took when I went with her on a trip a year ago May. I have tons more pics on my 'puter at home. Those three I happened to have with me because they are backgrounds used on some of the menu screens of the application that I wrote for the railroad. I have just a couple more here on this 'puter with me.

The steam locomotive is a 1947 Baldwin Mikado, Narrow Gauge. Pretty cool. Today they just got their 1908 Baldwin running and it huffed and chuffed into the depot for the first time after a complete restoration.

Here's the last of the pics I have with me. I took all except the one with the picture of the cruise ship in the background...
