White Pass & Yukon Route water tower relocated to Montana Mountain, above Carcross

    This WP&YR water tank was moved to Montana Mountain, to the south of 
Carcross, in the early 1970s. Its original location is thought to have been either Carcross or MacDonald Creek. Used as an 
ashram (prayer hut) by a Whitehorse Buddhist group, it was very badly vandalized, and collapsed in 2005. This view is to the north.

White Pass & Yukon Route water tank, used as a storage silo at the Venus Mine.


    This WP&YR water tank was moved to the most recent reincarnation of the Venus Mine (1979) for use as a storage silo. As with the tank above, it likely came from either Carcross or MacDonald Creek. It remains on the site of a silver mine mill that was dismantled over the winter of 2004-2005.
