I am planning to visit Yukon next June.
I know that the Skagway RR was connected to Whitehorse.
Questions:
Are the tracks between Bennett and Whitehorse still there?
wHat's left to see in Whitehorse? yard? station?
I read was a RR network in Whitehorse. Going where? what's left?
Thanks to let me know

Having never visited the Yukon, I can't really say what there might be to see there. The White Pass and Yukon Railroad now officially ends at Carcross YK, about 50 miles short of Whitehorse, although only Skagway-Bennett is normally operated.

I have read that there have been recent plans to return service to Whitehorse, which would necessitate the restoration of some track, but I believe much of the track is still in place.
