Title
English: Railroad Avenue, Seattle, ca. 1911
Description
English:

Good railroad service was vital to growth of Seattle as a seaport. Eight tracks were built in a 120-foot right-of-way along the waterfront. This made it easier to transfer freight between the railroad cars and waiting ships. This photo shows the trains, piers, and warehouses along Railroad Avenue, looking north from the foot of University Street. Railroad Avenue is now called Alaskan Way.
