- This picture shows tracks under the viaduct that are in common use by the Union Pacific, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and the former Pacific Coast Railroad. This track extends about three miles directly under this viaduct or along this highway area. The number of parked cars and trucks shown here gives some indication of the amount of vehicular traffic in this area. The Puget Sound would be to the left of the picture. The picture is very close to the water. Operated 24 hours a day.
