A Streetcar Named Skagway

As you know by now, Skagway is filled with history. In 1898, one of Skagway's most prominent characters, Martin Itjen came to town and became the local undertaker, Ford dealer, coal deliveryman, and the town's most beloved storyteller.
He created a one-of-a-kind trolley car and began giving tours. In 1923, he gave the first motorized tour in Alaska to President Warren G. Harding and continued giving tours to visitors for years to come.
Now, the Skagway Street Car Tour is a staple in the town, though the trolley cars have been updated just a bit. One original trolley car is still around today and is in great condition.
To celebrate the town's history, the National Park Service decided to drive the original streetcar through the street's of Skagway for all of the town to see.
Doug Smith portrayed Martin Itjen and tons of townspeople and tourists alike posed with the car, preserving a bit of the town's history for many more years to come.
