Here are a few from August 2012 (we were on a road trip to The Yukon)












The next ones are from May 2019 (we were on an Alaska Cruise)









I have more from the time that we lived in the Yukon (1982 t0 1998) but they are of course on film and I have not scanned that time frame yet.

Thank you!

I especially like the rotary snow plow {third picture}, although place where they have those beasts are not where you would want to be when they are in use {issues such as ten foot drifts}.

You can make that for me too! Nice series. That rotary snow plow reminds me of a tunnel borer - which I suppose it is in its own way.

Great series, Heinrich!

Impressive technology, though not quite the latest.

An excellent set of shots.--charliezap.

The more I look at them the more I feel 'honored' by your title.
I should 'provoke' you more often to display your work.

Great series of images! I love the snowblower.

You are welcome, I don't think that they use the snow blowers anymore. The railroad is now strictly a summer tourist thing. It was in the Fall of 1992 that the last train departed Whitehorse. The tourist train now only goes to Fraser, Britch Columbia

Thank you and you are right about the tunnels

Great series, Heinrich!

Thank you Jer, glad that you liked it.

Yes, it was quiet impressive in its time.

An excellent set of shots.--charliezap.

Thank you Charlie, it is appreciated

Thank you again, BTW, the last ones (2019) are Q7 images. As for posting more, I would love to but it has been and will be sporadic, At 89 my wife and I live in a "Seniors Residence" (cant call them Old Folks Home any more) My wife has Alzheimer-Dementia, that sort of keeps me busy but i do go out most evenings for an hour or so walking. Needles to say never without a camera.

Yes, from your photos, they apparently now have it as part of a display group. I notice the locomotive #52, which is apparently part of that group, was missing its headlight lenses - they certainly wouldn't operate it in that condition, in fact, I'm even surprised they display it.

added: the appearance of that Rotary Snowplow reminds me of one from the Canadian Pacific which is on display at the Henry Ford Museum in the Detroit area

I'm sorry to hear that, although it happens. I know a couple in their early 70's where the wife is being tested for that sort of thing. Also, we have a female friend, who I met in grad school, who is about 70 now and is also dealing with that sort of thing. The nice thing about my Q-7 is that it is light enough for me to carry it when walking as far as I want to these days, but powerful enough to deliver good results if I see anything.
