Klondike Mines Railway

The Klondike Mines Railway was a narrow-gauge railway in Canada, built in the late 19th century during the Klondike Gold Rush. It was constructed to transport miners, their equipment, and gold from the rich Klondike region to trading posts and shipping points along the Yukon River. The railway played a crucial role in facilitating the movement of goods and people in a challenging, remote environment. Although it only operated for a few years, it significantly impacted the development of the area and contributed to the broader narrative of the gold rush era and its economic transformations.
