Great Little Railways

BBC One
on BBC One London

Five films exploring narrow-gauge railways around the world. 3: The Gold Rush Line
Written and narrated by Simon Hoggart
The discovery of gold in the Yukon in 1897 heralded the maddest stampede in history-the Klondike Gold Rush. The White Pass and Yukon railroad was blasted through the mountains to lug the prospectors in and haul the gold out. Gold fever ended with the turn of the century but today the railroad is still there, hauling the modem stampeder, the tourist, up some of the toughest gradients in the world.
