Whittier, Alaska

Up until a few short weeks ago, Whittier, Alaska - a small town of 300 or so people could only be reached by rail. But now - the tunnel which links it to the rest of the state has been opened to vehicle traffic as well. As Anne Sutton reports, tourists are taking advantage of this and rushing to view the former army post. But what they're finding there isn't quite what they expected.
