On the southern shore of Lake Bennett

Their rest stop completed, travelers on the White Pass & Yukon Route have reboarded their steam-powered excursion train and are making their southbound departure from the station house at Bennett, BC, on the southern shore of Lake Bennett at Milepost 40.6. Once the site of a dinner hall used by the railroad to feed the passengers and crew of trains transiting the area, this lonely waystation is now just a brief rest stop where passengers can get off, stretch their legs and use the facilities. The railroad no longer maintains any dining facilities here.

 

This image was captured from an overlook south of Bennett Station, during a September 2025 photo shoot on the White Pass & Yukon Route, which featured the last steam locomotive on the railroad, the 1947 Baldwin Mikado #73, which is depicted here.
