None of these is in England.  Can you tell me what they are and what they are bridging?

White Pass & Yukon Route

(http://www.wellho.net/pix/wpyuk.jpg)

Built in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush, the White Pass & Yukon Route is a marvel of engineering despite the harsh weather and challenging geography faced by thousands of railroad construction workers.

Join us 120 years later as we take you on a journey to see our splendid panorama of mountains, glaciers and gorges; waterfalls, tunnels and trestles.

Along the way, you will climb nearly 3,000 feet in elevation in just 20 miles!

Sit back, relax and enjoy the views and historic commentary from the comfort of our vintage passenger coaches on “The Scenic Railway of the World”.

This brings back fond memories from Autumn 2000 and the Perl Whirl.
