If you travel extensively, you can smell when a location has been designed just to collect tourist money versus present a genuine historic experience. The WP&YR excursion train ride through the White Pass Summit seemed like the former when my wife bought tickets. However, when we arrived at the Skagway Depot, I saw this trainman before climbing aboard and then enjoyed the 40 mile journey as the coach car rattled, swayed and climbed through history.
