Summary edit

Description

Wagons, such as this reproduction, were intended to be drawn by horses. This one is parked near the site of Norman Macaulay's stable.

Macaulay, a 28-year-old businessman from Victoria, British Columbia came here from Dyea in the fall of 1897. He hired eighteen men to build a tramway for horse-drawn cars that could carry freight and small boats about seven kilometers from the top of Miles Canyon to the bottom of White Horse Rapids. The tramway took twenty-one days to build and was in full operation in 1898. During the main rush of the Klondike stampede.*
