On April 12, 1942, the 93rd Engineers boarded five trains and left Camp Livingston, Louisiana in the early afternoon. They arrived at Camp Murray, Washington on April 16. From the 15th to 25th of April, three ships transported the regiment through the Alaska panhandle up the fjord to dock at Skagway Harbor in Alaska. At Skagway the 93rd and the 340th Engineers formed a partnership in building the road. The end of April, the 93rd rode the narrow gauge railroad over White Pass to Carcross, Yukon. This was their mile 0 on a route that led north to Whitehorse and south to Teslin and Lower Post.
