Description |
English: The Great Northern Railway Company hired Anders B. Wilse during the completion of its railroad line to Seattle. He worked as a civil engineer, and he documented the various stages of construction with his camera. During the winter of 1892-1893, workers extended the line through Stevens Pass in the Cascade Mountains. Construction work continued even in heavy snow. This photo, taken during the winter of 1892-1893, shows several workmen standing on Bridges 16 and 17, west of the summit at Stevens Pass. It appears that the tracks have not yet been laid on these new trestles. Title on photo: Bridge 16 & 17 on switchback, west side summit. Wilse no. 30
