Transportation has always been an item of vital interest in the Far North. The technology has progressed from dog sleds and canoes, through railroads and steamboats, to airplanes and highways.

The Yukon Transportation Museum, in the territorial capitol of Whitehorse, documents this history. It is one of the best small museums I have ever visited, and is definitely worth a stop if you are driving the Alaska Highway.

In this view the most obvious exhibits are the first mail plane in the Yukon, a railroad car from the White Pass Railway (just its roof is visible), old trucks, an ambulance, and a 1940's four-wheel-drive TravelAll. There are also exhibits on the wartime Alaska Highway and Can-Oil Road projects, dogsleds, snowshoes, canoes, and bush pilots.
