Interesting... Not a lot had changed from this James Elmer photo taken in March 1904.
A few more trees and the outbuilding moved or removed.
James Elmer, Mining Engineer/Manager for the Detroit Yukon Mining Company, was traveling with a shipment of side dump cars and equipment for Bear Creek (Dawson City), YT operation. The remaining 20 side dump cars and 4 locomotives were shipped in June 1904.
4 side dump cars are loaded on the flat in front of the second locomotive.
Same location as above, 1907.
USGS White Pass railroad, Alaska, 1907.
