Description:

English below

Selbstentladewagen hat es natÃ¼rlich bei der White Pass & Yukon Route sehr viele gegeben. Einige der Wagen stammten Ã¼brigens dabei aus den BestÃ¤nden der East Broad Top.
Als 1970 ein neue Mine in Faro (nahe Whitehorse) ihren Betrieb aufnahm, transportierte die WhitePass bis zu 500000 Tonnen Blei, Zink und Silber pro Jahr in solchen Wagen nach Skagway zur Schiffsverladung.

In dieser BlÃ¼tezeit der WhitePass wurden allerdings 3-bay-hopper eingesetzt.
FÃ¼r eine OriginalitÃ¤tsbeweis des LGB-Aufdrucks sind mir keine Quellen bekannt.

Many hoppers were of course in service at the White Pass & Yukon. Some of these cars by the way came from the roster of the East Broad Top
When a new mine in Faro (near Whitehorse) began operation in 1970, the White Pass transported up to 500,000 tonnes of lead, zinc and silver per year in these cars to Skagway to be transported by sea.

In these heydays of the White Pass however, 3-bay hopper were used.
I'm not aware of any prototypical livery that matches that of the LGB model.
