While the WP&YR never built between Whitehorse and Fort Selkirk, some minor expansion of the railway occurred after 1900. In 1901, the Taku Tram, a portage railroad was built at Taku City, British Columbia, which was operated until 1951. It carried passengers and freight between the SS "Tutshi" operating on Tagish Lake and the MV "Tarahne" operating across Atlin Lake to Atlin, British Columbia. (While "Tutshi" was destroyed by a suspicious fire around 1990, "Tarahne" was restored and hosts special dinners including murder mysteries. Lifeboats built for "Tutshi"'s restoration were donated to "Tarahne".) The Taku Tram could not turn around, and simply backed up on its westbound run. The locomotive used, the "Duchess", is now in Carcross.
