- Description:
- Shows some of the tracks and curvature under the Alaskan Way Viaduct. Note the tracks on the left which are directly underneath, with automobiles parked parallel to them. In the right center of the picture is a box car spotted inside the Seattle Hardware Company. Note the extremely close clearances on both sides of this car. There is a great amount of vehicular traffic, track curvatures, and close clearances here, which make it imperative to maintain a lookout at all times.
