Those telegraph poles were cut down in the late '90s because the disused wires were killing owls. A contractor was in place because they believed the wire contained copper and they'd collect it for scrap. Unfortunately for them, the wire was steel core and it had little scrap value so the contract was never finished. The still good portions of poles were sold and used for various building projects (like hunting cabins, sign posts, etc.) The perpendicular tracks are for Casey car (speeder) pull offs so they could let the train past.

Why there are not 2 million subscribers to this channel I don't understand. Some big newspaper writer needs to find it. But then that would lessen the intimacy for those of us that watch and wait for it every week. This is one of the finest channels on KZbin and each episode pulls me to go back and visit again what I have only briefly been to.

It helps a lot that I travel almost exclusively remote. No matter how many views or subscribers, I’m still just chillin in the woods hahahaha. I hope the channel will reach that size one day, and hopefully you’ll still be enjoying. 😊 thanks so much for the kind words.

I love your videos Dustin, and have been following your trips to the Cassiar country, the Yukon and Dempster Highway with great interest. I started my life in Canada teaching at Cassiar in January, 1969. The parallel set of railway tracks at a right angle to the main line were most likely for speeder cars, used by workers doing repairs on the line. They would lift the car off the line onto the speeder track so that trains could pass by. The Skagway to Whitehorse rail line was still in use when I was in Cassiar. The compressed bags of Cassiar asbestos would the trucked to Whitehorse and loaded onto rail wagons for Skagway, then freighted to Vancouver by boat.

I rode that train in 1975, as a 9-year-old, on a swim meet tour through the Alaska panhandle catching the White Pass Express to Whitehorse for our final swim meet. I didn't know the significance of the Pass at that time, but I certainly remember how rickety and tall the railroad trestles seemed. LOL Thanks again for another journey down memory lane. Cheers!

This is so sweet to read, thank you very much. I hope that you are able to travel at some point as well. It may take some saving up and planning, but there are some great packages that come up at a really good prices. Cruises are also a great option. It sounds silly, but some itineraries will allow you to see some really amazing places, even from the ship, and the crew will make sure you’re very well taken care of. Thanks so much for enjoying the show.

Hi Dustin, I grew up next to a railroad track and back in the day when they had "what we called Cub Cars for the rail repair crew" the 90 degree parallel was where they would pull the Cub Car onto to allow the train to go by. Once the train had gone by the crew would get back on the main track and continue working. Oh and keep up the great videos and content. Cheers

Love your channel and especially your music. My dad spent his working life as a Signal Maintainer for the Southern Pacific in southern Oregon, The insulators are probably for the signal lines which sent power down the line to activate the signals when trains were in the blocks. The perpendicular rails were probably for motor cars (speeders) to get off the tracks when a train was coming. My dad's motor car could be moved off the train by himself by using two long handles which one extended to the rear and picked up just the rear and stepped it over to the pull off.

For the poles, as a lineman, the significance of just falling them, letting them lay and taking the center section is because they didn't want to deal with tearing stuff apart and the treat on the bottom part of the pole, they wanted just the pure cedar of it. Not sure if that old line was copper, or copper clad either. Unfortunate how people treat things nowadays when they know they won't get caught. Love the channel bud!! Keep up the good work!

I was brought up on the railway line in NZ,coal mining, timber logging and have watched the degradation of these once vibrant communities fall to the hands of thieves and destructive individuals. The rail ties that have rotted in a discarded heap were probably, what we termed o b,in other words sap wood.The poles have been cut down by guys wanting the copper wire ,I suppose they need cash for something.

Woke up for the 53rd year of my life this morning. Gave my puppy next to me a pet and kissed him on the head. Feeling pretty solid for an old dude. Running saw and chopping wood for the fast approaching Winter. 8c right now. Been getting frost some mornings. Made myself an espresso, lit up a joint, and enjoyed the show. I love it when you stomp around in the back-country. One of my favourite activities, is finding old cabins in the woods. I have this instinct where I can walk into the bush, and find old logs or a foundation. New place I'm at, already found two, not far from where I am. Super-cool trying to figure out what kind of person would tough it out in the Wild. I think you'd make it. You have a Pioneer look about yeah... Nice job, safe travels, cheers :)

Canadian tire used to regularly put the cheap ones on sale for 20 bucks, I bought a bunch at that price. Kids all got one in the stocking that year. They are great in the kitchen too, best way to check temp of the pizza stone. We have one in the RV, it gets used to check tire/brake temps at times, and then other times it's used to check the oven temperature. Amazingly handy little gadget, just point, shoot and voila, numbers show up on the display.

The cabin looks like a trap line cabin with metal shingles made out of Blazo tins. The can dump had some hole in top cans which were replaced by the 1930s with sanitary cans-the lead solder they used to close them was a concern by then. The Whitehorse end of the railway was the transfer point to Yukon river paddle steamers, one of which is parked by the river now as a historic site. So a box with a Minto address could have bounced back and forth on the steamboats with freight in it until it was snagged for furniture use. Blazo boxes did similar jobs. When the US Army took over the WP&Y in WWII they brought a lot of people and a lot of stuff for constructing the Alcan Highway, Canol road and pipeline, and oil refinery. Cool stuff!!

How I’ve enjoyed this episode! In 2008 my husband flew from Yakima WA to Juneau, rented a car, drove onto the Lynn Canal to Skag. We rented a little cabin near Dyea for a week. Best time we’ve ever had! We saw brown bears where you camped, it was Sept and a few humpies left in that slough. We drove the old road near the Avalanche Cemetery and did we have an awesome experience! A huge grizzly boar (a ranger down near Haines saw my pics and confirmed he was an inland grizzly as opposed to coastal brown bear. He hung around our car for about 30 minutes, going back and forth to glean berries from tall bushes along the road. We were smitten! We’ve been cowboys for all our married lives and never made enough to really travel but after bad horse wrecks ended our “careers,” we got to Alaska twice. Thanks for reminding us of a most special time in our lives!!

Minto was a mine in the yukon Dunno if that mines still in production. To bad the track don't run to Whitehorse anymore. That be a train ride worth paying for today. Thamksfor doing what you do. That was a section masters house/ cabin i believe. The sections along the side of the track that your wondering about, are motor car pull offs in case trains, meet up with the train track maintenance crew, so they can keep the train running and the track clear. You probably been told about the motor car pull offs already, but still wantedto share. Thank you for the awesome work u do. One day I'll be able to travel that routeas well. I hope. Staysafe and keep up the good work.

Minto was a name for mines across the country, don't know why it was used in Canada. I grew up near a Minto mine in Northern Ontario.

Lmao!!! The Dempster has no mercy for the arrogant and ignorant, and will not tolerate those two💪 On the Dempster, you are on your own!!! Tools, extra fuel, and yes, spare parts and spare tire are a must!! A tire plug repair kit should definitely be carried with you at all times in the Yukon and Alaska👍Always a pleasure Dustin, thanks man👍😎Cheers from Chilliwack🍻PS: You should have taken that box! That could have been the person who they named the town “Minto” after. That box could be a piece of history of the Yukon, you left behind! Wow!!!!!!

My husband and I went to Skagway in June 2023. We had a great day there and camp at Carcross. Nice to see portions of the old rail line.

Molson Export Ale, red colored label with a ship in the center of the logo, I don't think they make it anymore. We used to drive over the Peace Bridge to Ft. Erie to get either that or Molson's Brador back in the 70s to take it back to Long Island.

Yes they still brew Molson X. It’s a tall ship on the label but if you fall down drunk or lay the bottle sideways it looks like an ant eater or armadillo

So this is where the Polar Express drew its inspiration from 😅 Love how these things come out at noon on the weekends for me, perfect way to ease into the weekend and put myself in that relaxed state of mind.

What a very neat area of Alaska! I've never been to the lower part, only up near Anchorage. I loved seeing the old White Pass Express and all you found along the way.

I also do some pretty long roadtrips and I usually carry a Milwaukee M18 Fuel grinder for the silliness. One more thing. When I custom built my own trailer I built my own axle which used a fairly standard car hub assembly which came off the axle from the back. It allowed me to carry a complete spare hub assembly which bolted on.

Love this video, if you ever run into a old pop up camp trailer you could gut it out for more storage and rig up a system to load your boat on its hard top.

Thank you both for continuing to take us on your adventures. My wife and I look forward to every episode. I wonder if someone cut down the poles to get access to the long wires to take and recycle (steal?) the copper wiring. It looks like the wire was snipped off at both sides of the glass insulators. Also, those insulators look like they are probably for power lines, not communication lines.
