Overmod I give the 'scare' no more than a few extra months (which in my uncredentialed but I think knowledgeable opinion should be no more than weeks) before it will have run its effective course, and 'tourism' to northern points becomes thinkable again as a non-stranding risk.

They look like shrunken SD45's with the cab from a BQ23-7. They would look quite at home on EFVM (meter-gauge) in Brazil, especially when lashed up with a DDM45.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Wow, a real nostalgia trip. My wife and I rode from Skagway to just beyond the border and back in late May 2016. One of the best train rides I've ever been on.

Right of way had too much green within the borders of the roadbed for my taste. Saw a pile of two of replaced ties, would have like to have seen more. With the WP&Y being a predominately passenger carrier they need to maintain the track structure a higher standard than I viewed.
Yeah, the condition of the ROW surprised me, too; I don't remember it that way. Of course I didn't spend much time looking down, and we didn't go all the way to Carcross.
Lord help them if they dump several carloads of tourists into that lake with that level of roadbed maintenance.
