''See'', ''also'',  3 ''Railway Age Monthly and Railway Service Magazine'', Number 7 (July 1882), page 443 (Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis N.G. ), ''citing'', 55 ''Boston Evening Transcript'', Number 16,916 (June 13, 1882), at page 8, Column 2.The D.&R.G. Railroad responded that it "had a contract with the Grant Locomotive Works for forty engines to be delivered last fall. They delivered thirty; the remainder were not delivered within the contract time." 3 ''Railway Age Monthly and Railway Service Magazine'', Number 8 (August 1882), page 506, Column 2 (Denver & Rio Grande).In fact, the D.&R.G. Railroad had even refused to pay for the last two of those 30 Grant locomotives "delivered within the contract time," namely Grant shop ##1441-1442.Nos. 1441-1442 were sold instead to the St. Louis Southwestern Railway ; , at pages 45-49, reproduced in, Hensley, Donald R., Jr. (2007). ''American Steam Locomotives Builder's List Collection''. Tap Lines #400.The D.&R.G. Railroad's inability to pay for the locomotives was substantiated in its announcement of January 27, 1882 citing a "changed financial atmosphere." 14 ''Railroad Gazette'' 731 (November 24, 1882) (Denver & Rio Grande, ¶ 1). "Changed financial atmosphere" meant that "investors in railroad bonds seem to be scarce. The great railroad magnates have openly declared that the prices of railroad securities are now much below their value.”   49 ''The Sun'' (New York), No. 212 (March 31, 1882), page 3, Column 3 (Locomotives Going Cheap, ¶ 7).As set forth above, Grant shop #1442 had been completed before the ten T.C.&St.L. R.R. 2-8-0’s were built. In March 1882, the month that the ''Times'' report appeared, Grant completed its shop ##1459-1465 locomotives for the Texas & St. Louis Ry. Coincidentally, there are exactly ten Grant shop numbers between 1442 and 1459, for which the identity of the corresponding locomotive is not directly known, as seen here:Grant Shop Nos.DatesLocomotives''1362-1381''''April–June 1881''''Denver & Rio Grande R.R. 3-Ft.

"Richmond and Allegheny Railroad." 88 ''Railway and Locomotive Historical Society Bulletin'' 66 (May 1953). Grant reported that "Up to Feb. 1, 1882, shop #1450 had been completed ..." This information suggests that the shop numbers of the ten T.C.&St.L. Railroad 2-8-0's are 1443, 1446-1451, and either 1456-1458 or 1466-1468.The last three T.C.&St.L. Railroad locos were either Grant shop ##1456-1468 or Grant shop ##1466-1468, with the last three Richmond & Alleghany Railroad locos being the other shop number group. most likely February 1882one of ##1443, 1446-1451, 1456-1458, 1466-1468, most likely #1451Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Class C-16, proposed ##230-239 series locomotive. One of the last ten locomotives built by Grant for the D.&R.G. R.R. The D.&R.G. Railroad could not pay for these ten locomotives, because railroad bond prices had just collapsed. So, the locomotives were sold instead to the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad in June 1882 (TC&StL ##57-66). This loco became TC&StL #63.Bondholders foreclosed on the T.C.&St.L. Railroad, and #63 was sold to the Cincinnati Northern Ry. in 1883 (CN #63). No. 63 was transferred to the Cincinnati, Lebanon & Northern Ry. in 1885 (CL&N #63). Grant foreclosed on #63 in June 1887, and #63 was sold to the Columbia & Puget Sound Railroad via Barrows & Co. (dealer) in September 1887 (C&PS #9).

Rudnick, Ron (March 17, 2015). ''Re: Eight wheel Caboose on C&Sng? '', ''at'',  488 ''C&Sng Discussion Forum'' 1810 (March 17, 2015) (“September 1887: 12 caboose changed to broad gauge”), ''citing'', ''Union Pacific Railway Volume 44: Journal D'' (September 1887) or ''Union Pacific Railway Volume 75: Journal G'' (September 1887), Nebraska State Historical Society manuscripts, RG 3761.AM, Subgroup 5, Series E.  The numbers of these 12 converted cabooses were 1604-1615.Rudnick, Ron (March 18, 2015). ''Re: Eight wheel Caboose on C&Sng? '', ''at'',  488 ''C&Sng Discussion Forum'' 1810 (March 18, 2015), #1604-1615.By 1899, nine (9) of these converted cabooses still existed. 14 ''Official Railway Equipment Register'', No. 10 (March 1899), page 145 (Standard gauge Caboose, N.G. Bodies = nine (9) cars ''by 1899: ##600-608''). Therefore, as of 1894, at least nine of these conversions to standard gauge still existed. Also, as of 1894, only 11 former U.&N. Railway narrow gauge cabooses remained, including at least nine that were converted to standard gauge. The number range of all 11 cabooses was 1601~1621.10 ''Official Railway Equipment Guide'', Number 1 (June 1894), page 92.Therefore, by 1894, there had to have been no more than two narrow-gauge cabooses still on narrow gauge trucks 11-at least 9 = no more than 2.Also, the numbers on any narrow-gauge cabooses still on narrow gauge trucks had to have been ''outside'' the 1604-1615 range. Because ##1601 and 1621 existed outside the 1604-1615 range, they had to have been the only two cabooses still on narrow gauge trucks as of 1894.The 1601 was a dinky caboose, and the 1621 was a larger caboose. Rudnick (March 18, 2015), 488 ''C&Sng Discussion Forum'' 1810, #1600-1603, #1616-1622.For these reasons, U.&N. Ry. Caboose #1621 was the only non-dinky narrow-gauge caboose still on narrow gauge trucks, that could have become Sumpter Valley Ry. Caboose #4 and, eventually, U.S. Army Caboose #909.Transferred to Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern Railway in 1889 (OSL&UN #1621). Stored at Pocatello, Idaho, from 1890 to 1896.Transferred to Oregon Short Line Railroad in 1897 (''officially'', OSL #16001). ''Officially'' renumbered to 599 in 1899.However, the caboose never physically bore the official numbers 16001 or 599.Wrecked and written off in 1902.Sold to Sumpter Valley Railway (a ''non''-U.P.

Sold to Dyea-Klondike Transportation Co. in 1898, for use in generating electricity to power its aerial tram over Chilkoot Pass. D-KT Co. ownership of the boiler was subject to a lien personally retained by George C. Teal, creditor and trustee of the D-KT Co. The D-KT Co. sold out to White Pass in June 1899, with Mr. Teal retaining his personal lien on the boiler. White Pass took over operation of the aerial tram and shut it down in July 1899.Because of the lien on the boiler, the White Pass did not remove it. Mr. Teal did not foreclose and remove the boiler, either.
Origins of White Pass station, passenger car, and preserved boat names ''Aishihik'' Cars ##264, 380 is the English adaptation of the Southern Tutchone metaphor ''a shè yi'', which literally means ''its tail hanging down'', and which figuratively refers to the shape of the bay at the north end of Aishihik Lake. Although ''Aishihik'' (''a shè yi'') is the English and Tlingit name for both the lake and the village at the north end of the lake, it is the Southern Tutchone name ''only'' for the village. The lake's name in Southern Tutchone had been ''Man Shӓw'' Lake Big. Aishihik Lake located 28 kilometers north of Alaska Highway Kilometer 1546, via Aishihik Lake Road. Aishihik River located at Alaska Highway Kilometer 1547.5. ''Alaska'' Mile Post 0 to 20.4 is the English adaptation of the Aleut idiom , which figuratively refers to mainland Alaska. Literally, it means object to which the action of the sea is directed ( sea +  object of action). ''Alsek'' Car #314 is the English adaptation of the Tlingit verb theme ''aa łsêxh'', which means ''a person habitually rests''. It was the name of a Nóogaa (Tlingit) village located on the ''pre-1891'' Upper Alsek River (''post-1891'' Tatshenshini River), near the mouth of the O'Connor River. Alsek River flows into the Gulf of Alaska.American Shed MP 19.2 Station was named for a snow shed on the American side of White Pass, which existed until the 1980s. This name distinguished this shed from a snow shed on the Canadian side of White Pass.Annie Lake Car #360 was named for Annie Austin (1870–1950), widow of Charles "Dawson Charlie" Henderson (co-discoverer of gold in the Klondike). Lake located 19 kilometers southwest of Robinson, via Annie Lake Road. ''Atlin'' Car #218 and a Barge is the English adaptation of the Tlingit phrase ''áa tlein'', which means ''large lake''. Atlin Lake located 96 kilometers south of Alaska Highway Kilometer 1342, via Atlin Road.Bare Loon Lake Car 2nd 202 was named for skinny dipping and wailing loons. 1970s Chilkoot Trail hikers sometimes skinny dipped and sometimes heard loons wail at this lake. This lake provided those hikers their last opportunity to bathe before boarding the train at Bennett. ''Un''-officially named "Beaver Lake." This lake is at Chilkoot Trail Kilometer 46.7 and to the west of WP&YR Mile Post 37.Barry Mile Post 36.0 Station was named for Donald E. Barry (1944-2000), WP&YR conductor. Station renamed to ''Vista'' in 2007 or 2008. "Beaver Lake" Car #388 is the ''un''-official name for Bare Loon Lake, which is at Chilkoot Trail Kilometer 46.7 and to the west of WP&YR Mile Post 37.There are at least 14 other "Beaver Lake"s in British Columbia.Bennett Mile Post 40.6 Station and Bennett Lake Car #240 were named for James Gordon Bennett, Jr. (1841–1918), son of the founder of the ''New York Herald''. The lake was originally one of at least four lakes which had borne the Tlingit name ''kusawa'' narrow lake.a – Kusawa Lake, Yukon, at 60° N, 136° W. , at pp. 214, 216 (''Westlicher Kussooaa''); , at page 33 (#34); , at page 166.b – Kusawa Lake, Alaska, near the head of the Chilkat River. .c – The present-day Surprise Lake. , at page 72 (Surprise Lake ex-Kusiwah Lake); ; , at page 59 (#21-Surprise Lake).d – The present-day Bennett Lake. , at pages 211, 230 (''Kussooa'' today Bennett Lake). In addition, both the portage between Lindeman Lake and Bennett Lake, as well as Bennett Lake itself, also had borne the Tlingit name ''Ch'akúx Anax Dul.adi Yé'' Place to Pack a Skin Canoe Over. The Tagish name for Bennett Lake was ''Mén Chó'' Big Lake. , Entry Nos. 108, 111.Bennett also located at Chilkoot Trail Kilometer 53.1.Bernard Lake Car 2nd 209 was named for James Bernard "Ben" Moore (1865-1919), who helped establish the White Pass Trail. ''Un''-officially named "Fraser Lake." Lake located at Mile Post 27.7 and at Klondike Highway Kilometer 36.5, adjacent to the Fraser station.Big Kalzas Lake Car 2nd 230 was named for Kalzas (fl. 1859), a Northern Tutchone employee of the Hudson's Bay Co.Big Salmon Lake Cars ##276, 352 was named for the Big Salmon River, which flows through the lake. Big Salmon River took its name from its Tagish, Tlingit, and Northern Tutchone names, which translate to ''water in which there is large chinook (king) salmon''. Big Salmon Lake is 9 kilometers downstream from the river’s headwaters at Quiet Lake. Quiet Lake is at South Canol Road Kilometer 98.5.Black Cross Rock Mile Post 10.4 Station is a large fallen rock with grave marker, which commemorates two construction workers who were accidentally crushed and buried by this rock on August 10, 1898.This accident occurred during blasting operations. One of the workers was Maurice Dunn (1861-1898), who had lived in Michigan and California. The other worker is "supposed to be", "A. Jeneaux," but there is little corroboration for that latter name.Black Lake Car #216 was named for the lake's dark appearance, which is caused by the presence of tannic acid and by the lake's ''not'' being fed by glacial runoff. Lake located on the Klondike Highway between Mile 4 and Mile 5.Boulder Mile Post 4.5 Station was named for boulders located in the Skagway River at this location.British Columbia MP 20.4 to MP 52.6 was indirectly named for Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), by way of five iterations. Christopher Columbus was the eponym for the name ''Columbia'', a reference to the New World. ''Columbia'' was the eponym for the ''Columbia Rediviva'' Columbia Revived, a privately-owned ship built as ''Columbia'' in 1773, and rebuilt in 1787 thereby, “Revived”. The ''Columbia Rediviva'' was the eponym for the Columbia River, into which that ship entered in 1792.The Columbia River was the eponym for the Columbia District, a fur trading district named in 1810.Finally, the Columbia District was the eponym for British Columbia, which was the portion of the Columbia District that lay in Canada and was named in 1858.Canyon former Mile Post 106.0 Station is named for Miles Canyon, to which it is adjacent. Miles canyon is named for Lt. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who sent 1Lt. Frederick G. Schwatka on his journey along the Yukon River in 1883.Carcross Mile Post 67.5 Station was shortened from ''Caribou Crossing'' to ''Carcross'' in 1904, because of frequent confusion in mail services. Named ''Caribou Crossing'' from 1900 to 1904.Prior to 1900, the name ''Caribou Crossing'' had applied to where most caribou actually crossed – the narrows at Ten Mile Point, which is located three miles east of present-day Carcross, and which divides Nares Lake from Tagish Lake. The Tagish name for these narrows was ''Médzíh É’oł'' Caribou are Swimming, and the Tlingit name for these narrows was ''Watsíx Naakwaaní Yé'' Caribou Swimming Route. The name ''Caribou Crossing'' was moved from Ten Mile Point to present-day Carcross in 1900, when the railroad arrived and appropriated the name. Prior to 1900, present-day Carcross had been '' '''Upper''' Caribou Crossing''. The Tagish name for Upper Caribou Crossing (present-day Carcross) had been ''Todezáané'' Sand Always Blowing. The Tlingit name for Upper Caribou Crossing had been ''Naadaashaa Héeni'' “Stream Flowing from the Mountain,” referring to present-day Tincup Creek, at WP&YR Mile Post 66.1.Carcross also located at Klondike Highway Kilometer 105.6.Carr-Glynn former Copper Branch station, 5.2 rail miles from MacRae was named for Sir Sidney Carr Glynn (1835-1916), first chairman of the WP&YR. Site located at the south end of Carr-Glynn Lake, 12 kilometers south of Alaska Highway Kilometer 1428.3: three kilometers via Fish Lake Road, plus 9 kilometers via Copper Haul Road. ''Chilkat'' Car 2nd 205 is the English adaptation of a Tlingit name of unknown origin, but it looks like it was an abbreviation of a phrase which means ''river that brings the storehouse(s) sockeye salmon''. In 1882, the Chilkat River’s name was reported to be "Tschilkat-hīn," or ''Chíl'' storehouse ''Gaat'' sockeye salmon ''Héen'' river. Standing alone, ''Chíl Gaat Héen'' is not a complete phrase, because it contains only three alienable nouns that are not grammatically linked. In addition, ''Chíl Gaat Héen'' does not appear to be an Eyak loanword, because the Eyak language was too far away, and ''héen'' is not an Eyak word.b – The Tlingit name ''Chíl Gaat Héen'' (1882) contains neither the possession suffix nor any other lexical item linking the three alienable nouns. A Tlingit noun phrase typically contains the possession suffix, ''-yi'', if the described noun is an alienable noun. For example, in the Tlingit noun-phrase name ''Klehini'' (''L’éiw Héeni'' Gravel River), the described noun, ''Héen'' river, is an alienable noun; therefore, it must bear the possession suffix, ''-i''. Thus, if ''Chíl Gaat Héen'' were a complete noun phrase, then ''Gaat'' and/or ''Heen'' must bear a possession suffix. Since neither do, ''Chíl Gaat Héen'' is not a complete phrase.c – The similarity between the Tlingit and Eyak ''chíl'' cache does not actually suggest that Eyak was the source of the name ''Chíl Gaat Héen''. As stated above, ''chel'' storehouse was also common to Proto-Athabascan; therefore, ''chel'' was probably a  Proto-Na-Dene word, as well. Given the common Proto-Na-Dene ancestry of both Tlingit and Eyak, ''chíl'' was more likely inherited simultaneously from the single ancestor, rather than loaned from one offspring to the other. Furthermore, there is little reason to conclude that ''gaat'' is an Eyak loanword. ''Gaat'' already has a Tlingit meaning sockeye salmon which is relevant to a description of the Chilkat river. Moreover, the extraordinary distance between the Chilkat River and the Eyak region also makes it unlikely that ''gaat'' was loaned from Eyak. Finally, ''héen'' river is not an Eyak word at all, further suggesting that Eyak was not the source of the name. For the foregoing reasons, ''Chíl Gaat Héen'' (1882) appears to consist of three unlinked alienable nouns and is, therefore, not a complete phrase. In fact, ''chíl gaat héen'' looks like a clause that is missing the verb at its end. The three nouns, ''chíl gaat héen'', are in the correct sequence, so that if the adverb ''yaa'' and the verb ''na-ø-tee-n'' brings are added at the end, then the resulting phrase would accurately describe the Chilkat River. ''Chíl-de gaat héen yaa na-tee-n'' means ''river that brings the storehouse(s) sockeye salmon'' – which accurately describes the Chilkat River. (The constituent word order of a Tlingit clause is: indirect object, then direct object, then subject, followed by the verb.) In addition, the meaning of this phrase would also explain why “Chilkat” had not been the Tlingit name for Chilkat Lake. Chilkat Lake’s Tlingit name had been ''Áa Ká'' Surface of the Lake. The name ''Chilkat'' was officially assigned to the lake in 1880 by the U.S. Navy. Chilkat River extends sinuously between Haines Highway Miles 4.3 and 23.8.Chilkat Lake located six miles south of Haines Highway Mile 26.2, four miles via the Chilkat Lake Road, and two miles via shallow rivers (on jetboat or snowmobile). ''Chilkoot'' Car 2nd 204 is the English adaptation of the Tlingit phrase ''chál-góot'', which means ''without a storehouse''. This name was a reference to the Chilkoot Indians' having stored fish packed in snow between alder or willow branches, instead of in storehouses.b – Coincidentally, there was a similar sounding Tlingit name – ''Lkóot'' – which also applied to the same tribe. ''Lkóot'' was derived from the word for ''vomit'', and metaphorically refers to a story about a piece of a cliff overhanging Chilkoot Lake, which broke off and fell into the lake, causing a wave (metaphoric ''vomit'') that overflowed the waterfall and flooded the village just downstream from the lake. ''See'', ; Hammond, Austin (1984). ''The Ownership of Chilkoot'', ''reproduced in'',   Thus, the village has been known as ''Chilkoot'' Without a Storehouse, ''Lkóot'' Vomit, and ''X’aas Tayee Kwáan'' Village Beneath the Waterfall.c – Chilkoot Lake was ''Chilkoot Ká Áa'' Lake Above Chilkoot. Upper Chilkoot River was ''X’aas Ká Héen'' River Above the Waterfall. , at page 210 (Chilkoot River – “The Tlingit name ‘Katschkahin’ was recorded by Aurel and Arthur Krause 1883, map for the part of the river above the lake.”). Lower Chilkoot River was ''Té-yi'', short for ''Guwakaan Té-yi'' Deer Rock. ''Id''. (“The part of the river between Lutak Inlet and Chilkoot Lake was called ‘Deyea’ on U.S. Navy Hyrog. Chart 883 in 1881.”);   Chilkoot Lake located 10 miles north of Haines: 9 miles via Lutak Road and 1 mile via Chilkoot Lake Road.Chilkoot Trail is a partial translation of the trail’s Tlingit name, namely ''Chilkoot Dei-yi'' \dā•yee\, which means ''Chilkoot-'''owned''' Trail''. The trail’s English name omits the reference to ownership. The trail extends 33.0 miles/53.1 kilometers, from Dyea Road Mile 7.2 to Bennett Station. The second word of ''Chilkoot Dei-yi'' sounds like the original pronunciation of the name of Dyea village (the English adaptation = \dī•yee\ – note that Tlingit did not have the English long ''ī'' sound). Prior publications state that the name ''Dyea'' is the English adaptation of the words for “to pack” ''yaa'' or “carrying place” ''yaa yé''. However, the presence of the initial \d\ sound in ''Dyea'' casts doubt on those latter possibilities, and suggests that the first syllable was in fact ''dei'' (as in ''dei-yi''). Use of the name ''Dyea'' for its present location first occurred in 1886, when John J. Healy (1840-1908) and Edgar Wilson (1842-1895) opened a trading post there. This structure burned down in 1920.Its site, about 0.6 mile south of the Taiya River bridge, is now near a campground parking lot. (Note the distinction between the Tlingit possessed noun ''Dei-yi'' Owned Trail, and the Tlingit phrase ''Dei Yé'' Way to the Trail. This distinction is reflected in the difference between the English names ''Dyea'' and ''Taiya'' (inlet name, river name). ''See'', ''Taiya'', below. )''Choutla'' Car #366 was the English adaptation of the Southern Tutchone idiom ''chu dläw'', which figuratively refers to the waterfalls that feed Choutla Lake.

May have been named for the drainage divide between the Skagway River and Yukon River drainage basins, the actual divide being about a mile south of this point.Drury Lake Car #336 was named for William S. Drury (1870–1953) of Taylor & Drury, Yukon merchants.Dugdale former Mile Post 99.9 Station was named for James Dugdale (1842-1903), an early White Pass shareholder. ''Dugdale'' not to be confused with ''Dundalk'', below.Dundalk Mile Post 56.3 Station most likely named by Michael J. Heney for the port city 57 miles east of Killeshandra, Ireland. Heney's parents had emigrated from Killeshandra to Canada in 1854, probably via Dundalk. The parents were Thomas Heney (1832-1892) and Mary Ann (McCourt) Heney (1834-1911).

Lake located at Klondike Highway kilometer 117.6.Fairweather Lake Cars ##278, 356 most likely named for the lake at Cape Fairweather, one mile from the Gulf of Alaska and at the foot of Fairweather Glacier. The Cape had been named ''Fairweather'' by Capt. James Cook for the good weather he had encountered there in 1778.The glacier and lake subsequently took their names from the cape. (There is a less likely Fairweather Lake at a remote location in eastern Yukon. )Fantail Lake Car 2nd 203 was named for the fantail hitch, which is a dogsled hitch in which there is a separate tug line connecting each dog to the sled. The dogs are thereby fanned out in front of the sled. Also known as a ''fan hitch''. The fantail hitch is less common than the gangline (or tandem) hitch, in which a common tug line runs between two tandems of dogs, and each dog is connected to that common tug line. The ice on Fantail Lake constituted part of the Fantail Trail, the winter dogsled trail that extended between Log Cabin and Atlin, British Columbia. The lake extends from 20 to 29 miles east of Log Cabin, via the trail.Finlayson Lake Car #340 was named for Duncan Finlayson (1796–1862), chief factor of the Hudson's Bay Co.  Lake located 231 kilometers north of Alaska Highway Kilometer 980, via Campbell Highway.Fortymile River Car #322 was so named because it joins the Yukon River 40 miles below (west-northwest of) Old Fort Reliance. Fortymile River located 48 kilometers north of Top of the World Highway Kilometer 59.2, via Clinton Creek Road.Fox Lake Car #390 is presumably named for the red fox, which is found throughout the Yukon. Lake received the name ''Fox'' by 1940, when a landing field was built near the lake's location, but before a highway was there.

Lake located at Mile Post 27.7 and at Klondike Highway kilometer 36.5, adjacent to the Fraser station. A larger and more famous lake in British Columbia is ''officially'' named ''Fraser Lake''.Gateway Mile Post 23.5 Station was ''probably'' named for the WP&YR slogan "Gateway to the Yukon," and for the fact that this location has the highest elevation on entire White Pass railroad, at 2940 feet.Glacier Mile Post 14.1 Station was named for groundwater seepage and freezing at this location. In the early 1900s, this phenomenon was also referred to as a ''glacier''.Goat Lake Car #386 is named for the high concentration of mountain goats in the area. Lake is 1921 feet above, and supplies the water for, Pitchfork Falls at Mile Post 9.5.Gravel Pit Mile Post 55.6 Station was named for an adjacent gravel pit.Graves Mile Post 49.3 Station and ''Samuel H. Graves'' Car #402 were named for Samuel H. Graves (1852-1911), the first president of WP&YR. In 1885, Graves had become an associate of Close Brothers, the firm that later financed the WP&YR. Graves station renamed to ''Scheffler'' in 2016.Guardrail Curve Mile Post 43.6 Station was named for the 24° curve, sharpest on the railroad, which until the 1970s, had a third, safety rail – a.k.a., a guardrail.Gulch Mile Post 18.3 Station was named for the confluence of Dead Horse Gulch and Switchback Gulch.

''Hutshi'' Car #358 is the English adaptation of the Tlingit phrase ''hóoch’ áayi'', which means ''last lake''. Hutshi Lake was so named because it was the northern-most lake on three Chilkat trade routes, the Neskatahin Trail ''Neskatahin Dei-yi'', the Goat Creek Trail ''X’wáat’heeni Dei-yi'', and the East Chilkat Trail ''Chilkat Dei-yi''.

The boat was immediately named for the Keno (silver) claim, staked in 1919 by Alfred Kirk Schellinger. Keno claim located 110 kilometers east of Klondike Highway Kilometer 535, via Silver Trail. ''Klehini'' likely candidate for a car name is the English adaptation of the Tlingit phrase ''l’éiw héeni'', which means ''gravel river''. Gravel is abundant in the Klehini River and Valley. Furthermore, the water in the Klehini is clear enough, so as to eliminate ''l’éiw'' from meaning ''sand'' or ''silt''. River extends sinuously between Haines Highway Mile 23.8 and Kilometer 87 (corresponding to Mile 50). ''Klondike'' Car #308 and Steam-Stern Wheel Boat is the English adaptation of the Hän idiom ''Tr'o Ndek'', which figuratively means ''Hammer River''. Literally, it means ''Chinook (King) Salmon River''. The reason for the figurative meaning is that hammers had been used to erect barriers in the Klondike River, in order to catch the Chinook salmon. Klondike River extends sinuously between Klondike Highway kilometers 664 and 715. ''Kluahne'' Car #504 was an early spelling of ''Kluane''. ''Kluane'' Car #258 is the English adaptation of the hybrid phrase ''lhù aani'', which means ''whitefish place''. It was derived from the Southern Tutchone word for ''whitefish'', plus the Tlingit word for ''place in which there are''. Kluane Lake extends between Alaska Highway kilometers 1642 and 1701. ''Klukshu'' Cars ##282, 348 is the English adaptation of the Tlingit phrase ''l’ook shù'', which means ''end of coho salmon''. Klukshu Lake located  kilometer east of Haines Highway Kilometer 183.2, via Klukshu Turnoff. ''Kusawa'' Car #286 is the English adaptation of the Tlingit phrase ''ká-woo-sáa-oo áa'', which means ''narrow lake''. Because retreating glaciers often leave long and narrow lakes, there are at least four lakes which had borne this Tlingit name, including Kusawa Lake, Yukon, for which the coach is named. Kusawa Lake, Yukon, located 24 kilometers south of Alaska Highway kilometer 1489.1, via Kusawa Lake Road.LaBerge Lake Car #256 was named for Michael Laberge (1837-1909), a Yukon River explorer who never actually saw the lake named for him.

Fitz-Maurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne (1845-1927), Governor-General of Canada, 1883-1888.Laughton Glacier Moraine 2½ miles southeast of Mile Post 15 can be seen in the distance from near Mile Post 15, looking southeast. It appears as a gray area against green surroundings. The glacier itself once extended onto this moraine. The glacier had been named for Maj. Gen. Henry W. Lawton (1843-1899), who was killed in the Philippine–American War. "LeBarge Lake" Car #256 is a misspelling of ''Laberge'' Lake. "Lewes Lake" Car #268 misspells the surname of Alfred B. Lewis (1866-1928), chief locating engineer of the WP&YR, for whom the lake was named. Lake located at former Mile Post 83. ''Liard'' Car #316 is the French word for ''eastern cottonwood''. Liard River extends sinuously between Alaska Highway kilometers 761 and 991.Lindeman Lake Car #222 was named for Dr. Moritz K. A. Lindeman (1823–1908), secretary to the Bremen Geographical Society. Lake extends between Chilkoot Trail kilometers 41 and 52.Log Cabin Mile Post 33.0 Station was named for a structure which had been erected by the Tagish Indians. The name "Log Cabin," ''and'' an actual log cabin, predated any Canadian government structure at this location.Lorne former Mile Post 79.4 Station was named for John D. S. Campbell, Marquess of Lorne (1845-1914), Governor-General of Canada, 1878-1883.Lynx Lake Car #501 has an unknown eponym.

No gold was found here. Apparently, a hoax.McNeil Lake Car #342 is named for the McNeil River, which flows through the lake. McNeil River was named in 1951.It looks like the river was named for James H. McNeil (1871-1951), Yukon Superintendent of Public Roads and Buildings, 1917-1945.He had been the most prominent Yukon official associated with construction of the Alaska Highway. In 1940, he was appointed to the U.S.-Canada Permanent Joint Board on Defense, relating to the then-proposed Alaska Highway. The river's previous Tlingit name had been ''Kéidladi Héeni'' Seagull River. The head of the McNeil River is 12 miles upstream from the lake, and is technically the "source" of the Yukon River. The ''source'' of a river is ''the most distant point upstream from the mouth of the river, regardless of assigned name''.McQuesten Lake Car #338 was named for LeRoy N. "Jack" McQuesten (1836–1909), Yukon trader. Lake located 15 kilometers north of Silver Trail Kilometer 63, via a side road.Meadows Mile Post 25.4 Station was named for the meadows along the Tutshi River (a.k.a. "Thompson River") at this location. Presumably, the 1899 stable at the south (uphill) end of the Thompson River meadows was so located so that horses could feed on the grass of these meadows.Minto former Mile Post 81.6 Station was named for Gilbert J. Elliott-Murray-Kynynmound, 4th Earl of Minto (1845-1914), Governor-General of Canada, 1898-1904.Moose Lake Car #504 is the name of multiple lakes in the Yukon and northwest British Columbia.

Muncho Lake extends between Alaska Highway kilometers 698.5 and 710.Munroe Lake Car #344 was named for Alexander Munro (1857-1909), boundary survey axe man who broke his leg near this lake in 1901. ''Nakina'' Car #382 is the English adaptation of the Tlingit village name , which means ''People Sitting Upstream''.Nares Lake Car 2nd 206 was named for Adm. Sir George S. Nares (1831–1915), an Arctic explorer. Lake located at Klondike Highway kilometer 105.2''Neecheah'' Diesel-Screw Propeller Boat is the English adaptation of the Tlingit phrase ''neech yeil’'', which means ''calm shoreline''. This name looks like a Tlingit language description of the Yukon River just downstream of Whitehorse Rapids, which would have been correct, but does not pre-date 1900.Prior to October 1899, Whitehorse itself had not existed, and there had been no reason for the Indians to give its future location a name. ''Neecheah'' ''Neech Yeil’'' appears to be a short Tlingit language description of Whitehorse that was created in 1922 to name the boat. ''Neskatahin'' likely candidate for a car name is a contraction of the Tlingit phrase ''Nás’k Áa Tayee Héen'', which means ''River Below Three Lakes''. This name refers to a village once located at a bend in the present-day Tatshenshini River, which is about 500 feet below, and about  miles from, three nearby lakes – now known as Pringle Lake, Stella Lake, and Neskatahin Lake. These three lakes lie on plateaus which overlook the river bend. Neskatahin was also 114 miles from Haines, via the Neskatahin Trail ''Neskatahin Dei-yi''. ''Nisutlin'' Car #272 was a loanword used by the Tagish Indians. Its origin had been neither Tagish nor Tlingit. (The original Tlingit name for the Nisutlin River had been ''Héen Tlein'' Big River.) The name ''Nisutlin'' was borrowed from a Southern Tutchone phrase which means ''strong flow''. Nisutlin Bay located at Alaska Highway kilometer 1243.Norcom Steam-Stern Wheel Boat was named for the Northern Commercial Co., an affiliate of the Northern Navigation Co."Norse River" Car #306 was a misspelling of ''Nourse'' River, which had been named for Prof. Joseph E. Nourse (1819-1889), U.S. Navy. River mouth located at Chilkoot Trail Mile 7.2.Octopus Lake Car #507 is a metaphoric name, which refers to the lake’s "many arms." Sounds like the translation from a Tlingit metaphoric name. Octopus Lake is just east of Summit Lake at White Pass. Its surface elevation is 15 feet above Summit Lake's. Octopus Lake extends between Mile Post 21.2 (Divide) and Mile Post 22.5.Partridge Lake Car #505 was named for Otto H. “Swampy” Partridge (1855-1930), who constructed three small steamboats near this lake in 1898 (''Flora'', ''Ora'', and ''Nora'').Pavey Mile Post 46.4 Station was named for Francis Pavy (1837-1902), an associate of Charles Colin MacRae, both investors in the WP&YR.Peace River Car #330 was named for the peace treaty made in 1781 along the shores of this river, near its mouth (near Peace Point, Alberta).

River received the name ''Porcupine'' by 1898.River located at Klondike Highway Mile 6, and across the Skagway River from WP&YR Mile Post 7.3. "Portage Lake" Car #267 is the ''un''-official name for the lake at WP&YR Mile Post 30.5, just north (downstream) of Shallow Lake and just south (uphill) of Maud Lake. Originally, ''Áak'u Sáani'' (''Little Lakes'' in Tlingit). Then, ''un''-officially "Shallow Lake," until 1899, when ''Shallow'' became the official name for the lake just to the south (upstream). Lake also located at Klondike Highway kilometer 41.1.Primrose Lake Car #274 was named for Supt. Philip C. H. Primrose (1864–1937), North-West Mounted Police (Reg. #O.56).Ptarmigan Point Mile Post 29.9 Station was named for the Alaska state bird.

Sugden. Dr. Sugden then transported Mr. Curtin's body to Tagish, where he cremated it in the firebox of the steamer ''Olive May''. Dr. Sugden's subsequent recount of this peculiar event to Robert W. Service led to the fanciful poem ''The Cremation of Sam McGee''.Red Line Car #5 was named for the stage and boat line which operated between White Pass, British Columbia, and Carcross, Yukon, from 1898 to 1901.Robinson former Mile Post 88.9 Station was named for William C.

''Sibilla'' Gasoline-Screw Propeller Boat had been the name of the yacht on which the financier of the White Pass, namely William B. Close, spent much of his youth. ''Skagway'' Mile Post 0.0 Station and Skagway River Car #300 is the English adaptation of ''sha-ka-ԍéi'', a Tlingit idiom which figuratively refers to ''rough seas in the Taiya Inlet, that are caused by strong north winds''. Literally, ''skagway'' is a gerund which means ''pretty woman''. The story behind the name is that ''Skagway'' “Pretty Woman” was the nickname of Kanagoo, a mythical woman who transformed herself into stone at Skagway bay and who (according to the story) now causes the strong, channeled winds which blow toward Haines, Alaska. The rough seas caused by these winds have therefore been referred to by using Kanagoo's nickname, ''Skagway''. The Kanagoo stone formation is now known as Face Mountain, which is seen from Skagway bay. The Tlingit name for Face Mountain is ''Kanagoo Yahaayí'' Kanagoo's Image/Soul. Notes: The word which literally means ''rough seas'' is ''jiwsitaan''. The phrase which means ''home of the north wind'' is ''xóon neili''. (North winds prevail at Skagway from November to March. South winds prevail from April to October.) Skagway also located at Klondike Highway Mile 0.Skagway River bridges at Klondike Highway Mile 1.8 and WP&YR Mile Post 14.2.Skagway River Branches:#''East Fork'': The East Fork branches off the Skagway River, opposite WP&YR Mile Post 4.8.From there, the railroad follows the East Fork to Mile Post 5.8, where it makes a U-turn, crosses the East Fork, and loops back to follow the main river.#''White Pass Fork'': The Skagway River turns to the east, and White Pass Fork branches off to the north, opposite WP&YR Mile Post 12.From there, the railroad follows the Skagway River to Mile Post 14.2, where it makes a U-turn, crosses the Skagway River, and loops back to follow White Pass Fork.#''Switchback Gulch'': Switchback Gulch branches to the northeast, and Dead Horse Gulch branches to the north, opposite WP&YR Mile Post 18.From there, the railroad follows Switchback Gulch to Mile Post 18.6, where it makes a left turn and crosses Switchback Gulch.#''Dead Horse Gulch'': After crossing Switchback Gulch, the railroad goes through a tunnel which comes out at WP&YR Mile Post 18.8, along Dead Horse Gulch. From there, the railroad follows Dead Horse Gulch to its head at Pump House Lake, at Mile Post 20.Slippery Rock MP 15.6 Station was named for the 50° to 60° rock slope adjacent to the track, from which snow and ice slide onto the tracks during the winter and spring.Spirit Lake Car #214 was named for the spirit of the Yukon, by U.S. Army troops during construction of the Alaska Highway in 1942.Lake located at Klondike Highway kilometer 116. ''Squanga'' Car #376 is the English adaptation of ''dasgwaanga'', the Tagish and Tlingit name for "humpback" or lake whitefish. Ironically, Squanga Lake also contains whitefish now known as "''Squanga'' whitefish," which are a different species from the ''lake'' humpback whitefish which gave this lake its name. Squanga Lake located at Alaska Highway kilometer 1315.9.Stewart River Car #328 was named for James G. Stewart (1825–1881), who discovered this river in 1849.River extends sinuously between Klondike Highway kilometers 535 and 594. ''Stikine'' Car #306 is the English adaptation of the Tlingit idiom ''sh táax’ héen'', which figuratively refers to whirlpools and eddies found in the Stikine River. Literally, it means ''river water biting itself''. River located 286 kilometers south of Alaska Highway Kilometer 1002, via Cassiar Highway.Summit Lake Cars 2nd 200, #262 was named for the White Pass summit. Lake located at Mile Post 21, just north of the White Pass summit.Surprise Lake Car #370 so named in 1898 by prospectors Kenneth C. McLaren and Frederick "Fritz" Miller. Previously, it had been one of at least four lakes which had borne the Tlingit name ''kusawa'' narrow lake. Surprise Lake located 18 kilometers east of Atlin, via Surprise Lake Road.Switchback former Mile Post 18.7 station was named for the railroad switchback on the original, 1898-1901 alignment across Switchback Gulch (''see'', Skagway River Branches, above). The original alignment also included ''the first'' Bridge 18-A on the lower switchback leg, and Bridge 18-B crossing the Gulch on the upper switchback leg, both bridges being close to the switchback switch. From 1901 to 1969, ''the second'' Bridge 18-A ("Steel Bridge") crossed Switchback Gulch at Mile Post 18.3 and bypassed both legs and bridges of the original switchback. Since 1969, most of the south leg of the original switchback, plus ''the third'' Bridge 18-A across Switchback Gulch (at Mile Post 18.6), plus a tunnel have, in turn, bypassed ''the second'' Bridge 18-A. ''Tagish'' Car #248 is the English adaptation of the Tagish phrase ''taa-gish'', which means ''breakup of ice''. This name refers to the ''sound'' that the Tagish River ice makes during spring breakup. The Tagish Indians adopted this name to identify themselves because, prior to 1898, they spent their winters along the Tagish River. The Tagish name for present-day Tagish Lake was ''Taku'' because the lake provided access to the Taku Tlingit people. Conversely, the Tlingit (and consequently English) name for present-day Tagish Lake is ''Tagish'' because the lake provided access to the Tagish people. Tagish Lake extends between Klondike Highway kilometers 78 and 95. ''Taiya'' \tī•ye\ Car #302 is the English adaptation of the Tlingit name ''Dei Yé'' \dā ye\. (Tlingit did not have the English long ''ī'' sound.) As used, ''Dei Yé'' meant ''Way to the Trail''. ''Dei Yé'' – standing alone – was the Tlingit name for the ''combination'' of the present-day Taiya Inlet – ''plus'' the eight-mile, canoe-navigable portion of the present-day Taiya River, which begins at the mouth of the Nourse River. Other than ''Yé'' Way, there was no word in the original name which would correspond to an inlet or to a river. Thus, the name ''Dei Yé'' referred to the ''Waterway to the Chilkoot Trail'', from the south end of the Taiya Inlet, to the north end of canoe navigation on the Taiya River. A 1973 publication states that ''Taiya'' “purportedly” is the English adaptation of the words for “carrying place” ''yaa yé''. However, the presence of the initial \t\ or \d\ sound in ''Taiya'' or \Deyah\ or \Dayay\ casts doubt on the ''yaa yé'' carrying place possibility, and suggests that the first syllable was in fact ''dei'' (as in ''dei yé''). North of the Nourse River, the present-day Taiya River was named ''Sít’ Yayík'' “Noisy Glacier,” a reference to nearby Sheep Camp Glacier. (Note the distinction between the Tlingit possessed noun ''Dei-yi'' Owned Trail, and the Tlingit phrase ''Dei Yé'' Way to the Trail. This distinction is reflected in the difference between the English names ''Dyea'' (village name) and ''Taiya''. ''See'', Chilkoot Trail, above.) Taiya River located at Dyea Road Mile 7.3. ''Takhini'' Cars ##284, 354 is the English adaptation of the Tlingit metaphor ''téix héeni'', which literally means ''broth'', and figuratively refers to Takhini Hot Springs. Takhini River located at Alaska Highway kilometer 1468.9, and at Klondike Highway kilometer 195.5. ''Taku'' Car #318 is a contraction of the Tlingit phrase ''t’aawák galakú'', which means ''a flood of Canada geese''. Taku River flows into the Taku Inlet, 18 miles northeast of Juneau. "Tarahne" Gasoline-Screw Propeller Boat was directly derived from ''Tarahini'', which was the name of a little creek at Atlin. The name ''Tarahini'' was suggested to the ship's carpenter by Chief Taku Jack (John Taku, Sr.). ''Tarahini'' was the English adaptation of the Tlingit phrase ''té yaa .aa hini'', which means ''stream sitting along rock''. ''Tarahini'' had been derived by eliminating ''yaa'' and by substituting the English \ra\ sound for the Tlingit aspirated \.aa\ sound. Thus, all vocal sounds in ''Tarahini'' occur in English. The reason for the subsequent alteration from ''Tarahini'' to "Tarahne" is not known. ''Tatshenshini'' Car #312 is the English adaptation of the Tlingit phrase ''t’á chaan sha-héeni'', which means ''river with stinking chinook (king) salmon at its headwaters''. This name refers to the dead, spawned-out salmon at the headwaters of the ''pre-1891'' Tatshenshini River (''subsequently'' the Blanchard River). These headwaters are along the Goat Creek Trail (''X’wáat’heeni Dei-yi'', between Haines and Hutshi Lake, Yukon), 100 trail-miles from Haines. In 1891, the name ''Tatshenshini'' was re-assigned to a different river. ''Pre-1891'' Tatshenshini River (''subsequently'' the Blanchard River) located at Haines Highway Kilometer 144.8. ''Post-1891'' Tatshenshini River located 5 kilometers west of Haines Highway Kilometer 164, via Dalton Post Road. ''Taye'' likely candidate for a car name is the English adaptation of the Southern Tutchone word ''tàłe'', which means ''northern pike''. Northern pike are abundant in Taye Lake. Actually, the Southern Tutchone themselves had a separate name for the lake itself. The Southern Tutchone name for the lake itself sounds something like “Chin K’üa,” and the meaning of whatever this name may be, is unknown. The Tlingit name for the lake is ''Té-xáat'', which literally means “Rock-fish”. “Rock-fish” does not actually describe the lake, and does not describe northern pike. ''Té-xáat'' might be an obscure, local Tlingit name for ''northern pike'' and, consequently, the Tlingit name for the lake itself. Taye Lake located 18 kilometers north of Champagne (Alaska Highway Kilometer 1513), along the Neskatahin Trail ''Neskatahin Dei-yi''. ''Teslin'' Car #242 is the English adaptation of the Northern Tutchone phrase ''dé-lin'', which means ''flowing out''. Teslin Lake extends between Alaska Highway kilometers 1244 and 1290. "Thompson River" Car #334 is the ''un''-official name of the stream flowing from Meadows (Mile Post 25.4 Station) to Bernard Lake (at Mile Post 28.3). Received the name "Thompson River" by 1899.Most likely, named for Livingston Thompson (1851-1904), surveyor and Secretary of the Bennett Lake & Klondyke Navigation Co. Thompson was also a friend of William J. Rant, the British Columbia agent, magistrate, and assistant land commissioner for Bennett in 1898.The ''official'' name of this stream is ''Tutshi River''.Tincup Lake Car #508 most likely a fantasy name for the unnamed lake on Montana Mountain, from which Tincup Creek flows. Lake located 0.9 kilometer west of Montana Mountain Access Road Kilometer 4.7, via a trail. Tincup Creek bridge at WP&YR Mile Post 66.1 – 2½ miles downstream from the lake. (There is a less likely Tincup Lake at a remote location north of Kluane Lake. )''Tutshi'' Car #260 and Steam-Stern Wheel Boat is the English adaptation of the Tlingit metaphor ''t’ooch’ áayi'', which literally means ''charcoal lake'', and figuratively means ''dark lake''. Tutshi Lake is darker than most lakes in the region because it is not fed by glacial runoff. Lake extends between Klondike Highway kilometers 57 and 70.Utah former Mile Post 105.5 Station was the site of a camp of the Utah Construction Co. during construction of the Alaska Highway. Utah also located at Alaska Highway kilometer 1415.7.Viaduct Mile Post 5.9 Station had been named for the East Fork Bridge, now Bridge 5-A. Station renamed to ''Denver'' in 1904.Vista Mile Post 36.1 Station was named for the view from this location. Station had been named ''Barry'' until 2007 or 2008.Wasson Lake Car #368 was named for Everett L. Wasson (1910–1958), first bush pilot in the Yukon.Watson Mile Post 59.4 Station was named for Thomas J. Watson (1861-1926) of Watson & Church, Skagway real estate agents during 1898-1899.Watson Lake Cars ##238, 502 was named for Francis G. "Frank" Watson (1883–1939), a Klondike stampeder. Lake located at Alaska Highway kilometer 980.Wette Lea former Mile Post 83.7 Station was named for Auguste C. R. de Wette (1845-1912), banker and early shareholder of the WP&YR. Station renamed to ''De Wette'' in 1901.White Pass Mile Post 20.4 Station was named for the Hon. Thomas W. White (1830-1888), Canadian Interior Minister, 1885-1888.Whitehorse former Mile Post 110.7 Station was named for the appearance of rapids in the Yukon River, about two miles upstream from the railroad station. Since 1958, these rapids have been covered by Schwatka Lake. Until 1957, the city's name was spelled as two words: "White Horse." Whitehorse also located at Alaska Highway kilometer 1429.Whiting River Car #378 was named for U.S. Navy Surgeon Robert Whiting (1847–1897). River flows into Gilbert Bay, 33 nautical miles southeast of Juneau, via Stephens Passage.Wigan former Mile Post 104.8 Station was named for Edward A. Wigan (1868-1942), early shareholder of the WP&YR.Wolf Lake Car #502 is a translation of the lake’s Tlingit name ''Gooch Áayi''. ''Yukon'' Car #290, or ''Ųųg Han'', is a contraction of the words in the Gwich'in phrase ''chųų gąįį han'', which mean ''white water river'' and which refer to "the pale colour" of glacial runoff in the Yukon River. The contraction is ''Ųųg Han'', if the \ųų\ remains nasalized, or ''Yuk Han'', if there is no vowel nasalization. In the 1840s, different tribes had different opinions as to the literal meaning of ''Yukon''. In 1843, the Holikachuks had told the Russian-American Company that their name for the river was ''Yukkhana'' and that this name meant "big river." However, ''Yukkhana'' does not literally correspond to a Holikachuk phrase that means ''big river''. Then, two years later, the Gwich'ins told the Hudson's Bay Company that their name for the river was ''Yukon'' and that the name meant ''white water river''. ''White water river'' in fact corresponds to Gwich'in words that can be shortened to form ''Yukon''. Because the Holikachuks had been trading regularly with ''both'' the Gwich'ins and the Yup'iks, the Holikachuks were in a position to borrow the Gwich'in contraction and to conflate its meaning with the meaning of ''Kuig-pak'' River-big, which is the Yup'ik name for the same river. For that reason, the documentary evidence suggests that the Holikachuks had borrowed the contraction ''Ųųg Han'' White Water River from Gwich'in, and erroneously assumed that this contraction had the same literal meaning as the corresponding Yup'ik name ''Kuig-pak'' River-big. Yukon River begins at the foot of Marsh Lake,  kilometers south of Alaska Highway Kilometer 1383.

References and notes '''Notes on Aboriginal Place Names'''It is common for aboriginal place names to remain in English. Cruikshank, Julie (1990) "Getting the Words Right: Perspectives on Naming and Places in Athapaskan Oral History." 27 ''Arctic Anthropology'' (No. 1) 52, 63. ("2 ''Names can persist''. Place names ... are words which can be isolated, recorded, understood and learned by a non-speaker of the language and they can remain in English versions ..."). However, in order to represent aboriginal place names in writing, the pronunciations of these names had to be conformed to English phonology. The aboriginal languages had no written alphabet. Glave, Edward J. (1892). "Pioneer Packhorses in Alaska – 1." 44 ''Century Magazine'' 673 (September 1892) (no written language); , at page 5.Furthermore, they had about 12 sounds that do not occur in English. Therefore, there were no symbols which corresponded to these non-English sounds. If the aboriginal place names were to be preserved in writing, the pronunciations had to be conformed to English sounds.An example of a sound which does not occur in English is the initial consonant in the word ''Tlingit''. It is a lateral sound, which means that it is made to the side of the tongue. Begin by holding the tip of the tongue against the roof of the mouth, as you would when you begin to pronounce a \d\ or \t\ sound. Then drop a side of the tongue and, instead, make a \thl\ sound on that side.In addition, aboriginal place names usually describe some attribute of the place. ''See'', Cruikshank (1990) "Getting the Words Right," at page 63 ("3 ''Names provide a unique way of encoding information''. Many of the names reflect changes in landscape or in movements of plants and animals."). Attributive place names were needed as a tool to guide the traveler. ''See'', , at page 25.The aboriginal traveler had to commit to memory only an attribute of a place, and no additional arbitrary name. This was of assistance, because the aboriginal languages had not been reduced to writing prior to the arrival of the English or Russian language.As a consequence of having access ''only'' to information that could be remembered, people in the pre-1900 aboriginal societies had to deal with the world quite differently from people today.
