Our reading
The White Pass and Yukon Route Railway now offers a luxury rail car for $450 per person, complete with plush seating and a private guide. It’s a journey that makes you feel like a million bucks, but only if you’re not a kid or a rugged prospector.
The car’s exclusivity is so strict that it’s not just about comfort—it’s about curating the right kind of nostalgia, one that doesn’t involve children or actual hardship.
So if you want to pretend you’re a gold rush pioneer, just remember: the only thing you’re mining is your credit card.
