Abstract only available. This presentation will explore the need, construction and operation of the three major railroads in Alaska, the White Pass and Yukon, the Copper River and Northwestern, and the Alaska Railroad. All three railroads presented engineers and constructors of the day with the unique challenges of Alaska's remoteness, harsh climate, and political machinations. Of the three, two remain in operation today as vibrant, working railroads.
