Title
English: Oxen hauling logs along waterfront, Seattle, ca. 1885
Description
English:

As Seattle grew, the hills above the city were gradually logged over. Oxen and railroads hauled the logs to the sawmills at the waterfront. This photo, taken in the 1880s, shows a long team of oxen hauling a train of huge logs along a trestle at the Seattle waterfront. It is believed to show the first load of logs carried by the Columbia & Puget Sound Railroad.

If, indeed, this is "the first load of logs carried by the Columbia & Puget Sound Railroad" then it would have to be earlier than 1885, more like 1880. However, Holy Names Academy (cut off at left) was built 1882-1883.
