- Description:
- Taken in downtown Seattle area. The track to the extreme right is used by Great Northern in servicing the Seattle Plumbing Supply Company and five or six other industries in the area. The center track, which curves to the left, is the Great Northern's track running to the waterfront and also serves other industries along the way. Since the same engine will service industries on both tracks, you are bound to have one of the tracks curving on the fireman's side regardless of which way the engine may be headed. This is a 24/7 operation.
