Description |
English: Seattle's streetcars were originally pulled along tracks by horses. The first electrically-powered streetcars and cablecars began service in 1889. Most of the early lines were independent and privately-owned. Later, most of the lines became part of the city's street railway system. This photo, taken in 1916 or 1917, shows streetcar #670 headed to Ballard Beach. Like today's electric city buses, the trolley was attached to the electric power lines with two booms. Unlike today's buses, it traveled on tracks. Typed on verso: #670, car to Ballard Beach. Conductor, on left "Unk." Motorman, on right, Andrew A. Whiteley (1881-1952). Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Co. Built in 1909 at St. Louis Car Co., Single End. Photo taken in 1916 or 1917 on N.W. 64th St. at 36th N.W. This was terminal of #28 Ballard Beach Line, in Seattle. Car scrapped and burned July 15, 1940. Larry Hoffman.
