This is a piece of rolling stock I decorated for a railroad that never was. The Chilkoot Railroad and Transport Company was founded in 1897 to service miners headed into the Yukon Territory, bound for the Klondike gold rush. Not a single rail was known to have been laid. They ended up making a fortune operating an aerial tram over the summit of the trail before being bought out by the White Pass and Yukon Route and shut down. But what if they laid a couple of rails and brought in an office from the lower 48?
