The trolley that once cruised the narrow-gauge rail lines along Whitehorse’s waterfront is back in operation this summer.

A Facebook post from the MacBride Museum, which will be the trolley operator, says it will run a route from the roundhouse along the waterfront to Rotary Park with stops at the White Pass Building and the Yukon Visitors’ Centre.

The trolley runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays to Fridays through July and August. Tickets cost $3 by cash or card, payable at the museum’s front desk or on the trolley.

The tracks the trolley runs on are part of the White Pass rail route that once connected Whitehorse to Skagway; the trolley itself was brought up from the United States about 25 years ago.
