Look2Sea Posted June 6, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2009 There was a 5/31/09 thread about an avalanche affecting White Pass train. I am clueless about the extent of the damage, or how long it takes for repairs. Is the train fully operational now? Are avalanches common occurrences?

fann1sh Posted June 6, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 6, 2009 HI there - the problem was not an avalanche, but a spring flood/water washout. Anyplace there is snow accumulation, spring thaw makes Mother Nature seem awful unfriendly. Here is a link to the WP&YR news release: http://www.wpyr.com/news/may13-2009.html Please don't consider this an ongoing safety risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
