Origins of White Pass station, passenger car, and preserved boat names

Aishihik was derived from a Southern Tutchone phrase which means its tail hanging down. It is unclear whether this name was an actual reference to the many moose and caribou which passed by, or a metaphoric reference to the shape of the bay at the north end of the lake. Although Aishihik 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 . 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 was derived from the Aleut idiom alaxsxix, which figuratively refers to mainland Alaska. Literally, it means object to which the action of the sea is directed.
Alsek had been derived from a Tlingit verb theme, which means a person habitually rests. It was the name of a Nóogaa village located on the pre-1891 Upper Alsek River, near the mouth of the O'Connor River.
American Shed was named for a snow shed on the American side of White Pass, until the 1980s. This name distinguished this shed from a snow shed on the Canadian side of White Pass.
Annie Lake was named for Annie Austin, widow of Charles "Dawson Charlie" Henderson. Lake located 19 kilometers southwest of Robinson, via Annie Lake Road.
Atlin was derived from a Tlingit phrase, which means large lake. Atlin Lake located 96 kilometers south of Alaska Highway Kilometer 1342, via Atlin Road.
was named for skinny dipping and wailing loons. 1970s Chilkoot Trail hikers sometimes skinny dipped and sometimes heard loons wail at this lake. 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 was named for Donald E. Barry, WP&YR conductor. Station renamed to Vista in 2007 or 2008.
"Beaver Lake" is the un-official name for Bare Loon Lake, which is at Chilkoot Trail and to the west of WP&YR Mile Post 37. There are at least 14 other "Beaver Lake"s in British Columbia.
Bennett and Bennett Lake were named for James Gordon Bennett, Jr., 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 . Bennett also located at Chilkoot Trail Kilometer 53.1.

From 1901 to 1969, the second Bridge 18-A crossed Cut-off 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 Cut-off Gulch, plus a tunnel have, in turn, bypassed the second Bridge 18-A.
Tagish was derived from a Tagish phrase 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.

Previously, Tarahini had been derived from the Tlingit verb theme téya.aahini, which means stream situated on rock. Tarahini had been derived by shortening the Tlingit /téya/ to /ta/ 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 change from Tarahini to "Tarahne" is not known.
Tatshenshini was derived from a Tlingit phrase which means river with stinking chinook salmon at its headwaters. This name refers to the dead, spawned-out salmon at the headwaters of the pre-1891 Tatshenshini River. These headwaters are within view of the “middle” Chilkat Trail.

Yukon, 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 Gwich'ins had been trading regularly with the Holikachuks, and because the Holikachuks had also been trading regularly with the Yup'iks, the Holikachuks had been in a position to borrow the Gwich'in contraction and to conflate its meaning with the meaning of Kuigpak , which is the Yup'ik name for the same river. For that reason, the documentary evidence reflects that the Holikachuks had borrowed the contraction Ųųg Han from Gwich'in, and erroneously assumed that this contraction had the same literal meaning as the corresponding Yup'ik name Kuigpak .
