Starting in the 1960s the White Pass railroad started shipping led and zinc concentrates out of the Yukon by way of Skagway. This was achieved using a fleet of trucks and an intermodal yard in Whitehorse known as Utah Yard. This was all made possible with the use of specially designed ore containers, that could move the concentrate to an ore loading facillity in Skagway. Today these containers are known as Anvil Ore Containers after the Anvil Mine they were used for in Faro, Yukon Territory, Canada. They have been produced by LGB but never made in O-scale that I'm aware of. This prohect has been in the back of my brain for a long time. Finally starting to take shape.
