| Description |
English: On June 30, 1919, the Taylor Avenue streetcar's air brakes failed on Queen Anne Hill. The motorman tried using the hand brakes, but couldn't stop the car. It jumped its track at the Aloha Street curve, and shot across the street. It then crashed through a pile of heavy lumber and finally stopped in a bank of earth near a house.
This 1919 photo shows the wrecked Taylor Street streetcar after its wild ride down Queen Anne Hill. Luckily, the car didn't turn over, and its riders had only minor injuries.
